Soft Caramel Candy

 Kathleen says:
Terrificly easy recipe! I like a softer caramel, so I only cooked it to 234°F. The result was a tasty, gooey caramel. Highly recommended!

When my husband tasted this recipe he said "Stop trying to make fudge and just make caramels from now on." Everyone love them.

Exigent Carmel, I cooked it to 325°F and then microwaved it to perfection. It was a lot easier that way and still tasted great.

First time making it, I did not let cook all the way but put in on shortbread cookie dough with mini chocolate chips and salted pecans, great cookies.

This is a very wonderful recipe. The smell while cooking is just house filling and warm. Comfort. Took me back to my childhood of caramel candies my Grandaddy use to sell in his home store. Thank you.
