I was excited to see that Soft Candy Caramels was the chosen recipe this time for Club: Baked because I just love caramels! My sister and I used to eat caramels from the candy bins in the supermarket while my mom food shopped! Making these definitely brought me back to those days! I think candy making can often be intimidating to most people and I have personally found that if you're not careful, it can be easy to burn what you're making, haha. Luckily this time, I did nothing of the sort and these came out perfect! Keeping a watchful eye on your thermometer and ingredients in your saucepan are key to successful caramels. I think the addition of fleur de sel at the end of the recipe was great touch. Wrapping each individual caramel in wax paper was time consuming, but worth it. They looked store bought and I think individually wrapping them helped to preserve freshness and keep them soft. Overall, the combination of sweet and salty was perfect and the caramel just melted in your mouth! It was nearly impossible to eat just one and walk away! I was sure to share these with my family who also agreed they were irresistible. I highly recommend trying this recipe! It was fairly easy and may just be the best caramels I've ever had! Check out Terry's blog for the recipe as she is hosting this week for Club: Baked! Also head on over to the Club: Baked blog to see all of the member's caramels! Enjoy!!
