These are so delicious. A little bit nervous when caramel bubbled up. Forget the store-bought ones. Pure bliss!

These caramels are to die for! They are so smooth and buttery with that extra perfect bit of saltiness to compliment them. My granddaughter loves them- she refers to them as her "medicine" (with a wink- she is 16and calls me to tell me she is not feeling well and needs more "medicine". I gladly make them because then I get to have them too ;- I dipped some in melted chocolate at Christmastime and that was excellent as well!

First time I have ever made caramels - or candy for that matter. The taste and color were good but I made mistake #1 by not cooking the sugar long enough and there were some crystals left. Then I didn't have a candy thermometer and just cooked it for a long time - that was mistake #2 - I should have had one. I will definitely use the tips given my other people on this recipe but here's a question - what is "soft ball" and "hard ball" stage?

dear jburns8227 i prefer soft ball stage as the final temp and you have to be sure all sugar crystals are washed off the sides of the pot and that the container that you will pour the melted caramel is 150 % clean if ther is one grain of suger and any crystal like substance it will ruin the whole batch hopes this helps

"this was my first time making caramels, so i may have done something incorrectly. they taste good, but i dont care for the texture. they are not the super smooth, silkiness for which i was hoping."

I don't know how many times I've made these caramels, but they are the best EVER! Literally... They are perfectly smooth and melt in your mouth and my friends and family request them every year. Only time I ever had a problem is when I was in a hurry and didn't cook the mixture long enough. Also, instead of vanilla extract I always split a vanilla bean and throw it in (beans AND pod both with the sugar as its caramelizing and pull out the pod after I add the cream.

Food Network please correct the recipe! The correct one was in Dec 2010 Food Network magazine and there are huge mistakes in this one. I made the online version 2 times and found the caramels grainy and not worth giving and then later found out that I followed the wrong recipe. A huge waste of time and expensive ingredients. Please correct so others aren't misled!
