This recipe was fairly easy, but using a high quality caramel is a must. I used Kraft and it was alright, but it had far more potential than it fullfilled.

    Karen, you have a candymaker's soul. Easy and delicious. I did want to mention that putting them in the freezer helped to harden the candies enough so they would pop off the parchment paper, before I coated them with chocolate. Also, the cold helped the chocolate set up very quickly. This will be a favorite treat to make forevermore!

    I will not rate this until I try again. I had a horrible sticky mess. The candy kept sticking to the wax paper and would not come off of the candy, and the wax paper was buttered. If you have any further instructions to help let me know.
