These caramels are too expensive to make. I can buy them for cheaper at the store.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my caramels turned out too hard. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These caramels are okay. They're a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of caramels, but I have to say, these are pretty good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, buttery flavor. I'd definitely make them again.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've used it to make plain caramels, chocolate caramels, and even salted caramels. They're all delicious!

These caramels are so easy to make! I was surprised at how quickly they came together. I also love that I didn't need any special equipment. I just used a regular saucepan.

I've tried making caramels before, but they always turned out too hard or too soft. This recipe is perfect! The caramels are chewy and soft, with a beautiful golden color. I'm so glad I found this recipe.
