CREAMY CARAMELS
I discovered this caramel recipe in a local newspaper years ago and have made these soft buttery caramels ever since. I make them for Christmas, picnics and charity auctions-and they are so much better than store-bought caramels. Once people have a taste, they ask for the recipe. -Marcie Wolfe, Williamsburg, Virginia

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the butter and cream. These will make a big difference in the final flavor of the caramels.
- Cook the sugar mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. Be patient and don't let it get too dark or it will burn.
- Once the sugar mixture is the right color, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before adding the cream. This will prevent the cream from curdling.
- Stir in the cream slowly and carefully. If you add it too quickly, it could cause the mixture to seize up.
- Cook the caramel mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the desired consistency. This could take anywhere from 15 to 20 minutes.
- Pour the caramel mixture into a prepared pan and let it cool completely. Then, cut it into squares and enjoy!
