Mmmm...

Last week a friend and I were lucky enough to be taught how to make caramels by another friend! She helped us step by step, sharing her secret tips along the way! It was fun making the caramels but even better being with these two great women. (Both of whom I had to call and apologize to for bringing Hannah a couple days before we found out she had swine flu. Both were great about it!)

I brought my pan of caramels home and wrapped some (above) then later made some fun candies (below). They have a pecan in the middle, wrapped with caramel, dipped in yummy chocolate, with white chocolate drizzled on top! I feel so talented! Ha Ha! Now I've got to try making the caramels on my own! We'll see how that goes!

Okay, those are from Andrea, right? I have been wanting her recipe for so long. I have asked but haven't gotten it. I love her caramels. Who else did you make them with? Those chocolate look good but the nuts have got to go!

Molly

Shanna

The chocolate looks so yummy! And fancy! I'm very impressed!

Natalie

Not Andrea... guess again!

I just cut a piece of caramel, flatten it with my fingers, put the pecan on, wrapped the caramel around then rolled it in a ball...
