Creamy Orange Caramels image

Each Christmas I teach myself a new candy recipe. Last year I started with my caramel recipe and added a splash of orange extract for fun. This year I just might try buttered rum extract. -Shelly Bevington-Fisher, Hermiston, Oregon

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my caramels turned out way too hard. I think I might have overcooked them.

These caramels are a great way to use up leftover oranges. They're also a nice and easy gift to give to friends and family.

I love the idea of these caramels, but I found them to be a bit too complicated to make. I think I'll stick to my usual caramel recipe.

These caramels are perfect! They're not too hard or too soft, and the flavor is spot-on. I will definitely be making these again.

These caramels are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These caramels are absolutely divine! The orange flavor is perfectly balanced with the creaminess of the caramel. They're so rich and decadent, I can't stop eating them!
