    Fast basic recipe. I added a bit more butter and used cream instead of water. I wanted a softer caramel than is typical so it worked out well!

    Don't put these on wax paper. Who knew there was a difference in the paper you put it on? Not me.:( Otherwise these were delicious. I thought I read everything so closely and now I see it was right in the "partner tip". Help me Rhonda.

    This recipe was awesome. I switched out milk chocolate for the dark chocolate and it was completely delicious. Dark chocolate tends to melt better so I will definitely try this recipe with dark chocolate too. I Will make this again for Thanksgiving and after. This is now my go to recipe

    These was so easy to make and turned out wonderful. I did use heavy cream instead of water because I was trying to use the last of the cream I had up. It was hard to keep them all about the same size. This is going in my keeper file.
