100% would make again

I discovered this recipe in a local newspaper several years ago and have made these soft buttery caramels ever since. Everyone asks for the recipe once they have a taste. I make them for Christmas, picnics and charity auctions. They are so much better than store-bought caramels. -Marcie Wolfe, Williamsburg, Virginia

Sweet, rich and incredibly delicious. Its a mix between Cr�me Brul�e and cheesecake, but with more flavor…

These were very good! My mom said they were the best caramels she had ever had.

I use light corn syrup. I also just butter the pan and don't use any foil. it works perfect.
