These caramels are really delicious, but they are also very rich. I could only eat a few at a time.

I had some trouble getting the caramel to the right consistency. It was a bit too runny at first, but I eventually got it right.

These caramels are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think they would be perfect for people who have a sweet tooth.

I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but I really enjoyed these caramels. The cranberry flavor is subtle and not overpowering.
