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

I make these caramels every year. They are wonderful. I always get great coments and often get asked to bring them to events. They make great gifts as well.I agree I do cut them slightly smaller, generally 70-75 per pan. I use heavy duty foil to line my pan it pulls off better

One thing I would add is to make the pieces smaller than an inch- it very rich.

I haven't made these yet but was wondering if you could use a fat free sweetened condensed milk? Anyone know?
