    This is second year i have made these. Now i get request for them. I think they turn out better to roll them into strips and then cut into pieces..,however, i cut mine smaller and get more pieces than Ina does. Also, I dipped some in chocolate and then put salt on top of those..fabulous either way..make nice gifts wrapped and place in cellephane bags with pretty ribbons!

    This is a family favorite, and my three year old daughter's favorite candy! This is a very easy recipe, although it says the difficulty is intermediate. However, the recipe posted on here is incorrect. Be sure to use 1 1/2 cups of sugar. I usually put the fleur de sel on one log, and leave the other log plain, just to have the best of both worlds. This is the best caramel. I have also dipped these caramels (without the fleur de sel in chocolate, and that takes these caramels to a whole other level. No matter how you decide to eat them, they will be fantastic!

    i have the cookbook by ina that has this recipe. the one on the internet is wrong. here's the correct recipe. 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup heavy cream, 5 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon fine fleur de sel, plus extra for sprinkling, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. these are YUMMY!!!

    Of course, I used the wrong recipe and ended up with just such a mess... there's so much butter in this that it's just goop. Shoot! Use the different recipe if you don't want to end up with an icky mess!

    Stupid me, I didn't read the reviews first. Now I have a pan of unusable goo. I imagine if I'd followed the tips from other reviewers (1.5 cups of sugar rather than just .5 cup, I might have had something. Now I just have a mess. Is it possible to give ZERO stars?

    The recipe should read 1 1/2 cups sugar. Make it like it's printed above and you're in for a fail.

    This is the bad recipe of the two... the other one works wonderfully.

    I can only rate with one star because I have not tried. I am confused at the difference in the difference in ingredient amounts between the two recipes! One has 1/2 c sugar and 1-1/2 c heavy cream; the other has 1=1/2 c sugar and 1 c heavy cream! which is right or the best? I don't want to waste my time. I have read the reviews on both.

    There are 2 recipes for Ina garten Fleur De Sel Caramels on this website. After locating both of them and reading through all the comments on each page I decided to go with the other recipe. The link to the other recipe can be found in the comments below

    I used golden syrup (as I'm in the UK instead of the corn syrup and used double cream and granulated sugar. I left out the salt as I didn't have Fleur De Sel and although I realised my candy thermometer was broken just as I went to add it, they turned out great although more like toffee than caramels. Yum!

    I have spent time and money making these caramels over and over trying to figure out what is wrong! They taste good but it is always different with one exception...the butter ALWAYS separates once I pour the cooked mixture into the square dish to cool them. I have had to sop up the better to be able to serve them because it won't mix in! I am going to try the other recipe and pray that one works!!! Very disappointing since I love everything I try of Ina's.
