I altered the original recipe for these creamy caramels by substituting condensed milk for part of the whipping cream and cutting back on the sugar. Everybody raves about them, and they make a great holiday gift. You can't eat just one! —Patsy Howell, Peru, Indiana

Absolutely delicious! Using the 9x13 pan makes the ends a little thin and not so pretty for gifting, but hey, I'll eat those. 5 stars!!

From beginning to end, it's been an hour long process each time I make these caramels, but without a doubt, this recipe has elevated me to the sweet treat goddess! Chewy goodness. So cool to see the cream-colored ingredients transform to the rich caramel color. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is an excellent recipe. I make it at Christmas time and cannot keep the candy long enough to package for gifts. Do not cook long than the soft-ball stage as it will not be chewy. I experienced that (by mistake)

This is an excellent recipe for anytime of the year. I made three batches of the candy at Christmas time as it was very popular at the places I took it too. Even for the gift giving, it was great!!!
