I bookmarked this a while ago and finally got around to making them. I was a little scared about the temperature thing, but I used a thermometer and it really wasn't so hard! A suggestion for the chocolate lovers out there: form the caramels as directed, then try melting some semisweet chocolate chips and dipping the caramels just half-way in your bowl of melted chocolate. Then lay out on wax paper and allow the chocolate to set. Tasty, and adds another level of beauty to the caramels to have them half-dipped! Really wonderful!

I boiled mine on a low temperature for about 30min after combining butter & light gold sugar mixture. Next time I will try to add some hazelnuts or walnuts. Thanks for sharing this.

I was concerned about my final product. I couldn't bite into it. I had to soften in my mouth, first. Did I make them correctly? Even when cutting them I had to be careful. Sometimes, they would crack. Thanks! They are delicious, no doubt! I was concerned about my final product. I couldn’t bite into it. I had to soften in my mouth, first. Did I make them correctly?

It's also a very rare occasion that I have heavy cream in the house, but crap, I used all my sugar on the brittle. Made these with brown sugar and they turned out perfect! I let them go to a little over 250 because I like my caramel chewy! Thanks for posting!

These caramels aren't messy to make at all. The pot definitely gets its fair share of splattering during the boiling process, but all of that stays contained in the pot. And cleanup's a breeze--just soak the pot in water and everything just dissolves off. The baking pan shouldn't get messy if you line it with parchment or foil. Everything is pretty easy--hope you get a chance to try them! Hi Carolina! These caramels aren’t messy to make at all.
