I like how you’ve kept the recipe simple, healthier, and natural. (No corn syrup, microwaves, or other nastiness)

This is an absolute masterclass! Thankyou for explaining it all so clearly. I've learned not only what to do but also what not to do, why, and what is important and what's flexible. You've answered questions I didn't even know I needed to know! You've made this recipe as disaster proof as humanly possible!! You're a fantastic teacher!

I make caramel all the time and this is a different way that I am going to try, Also another way to cut your caramel is with a pizza cutter, it works great. Thanks for posting.

This is the way we made candy when I was growing up...no timers & thermometers...and it turned out just fine all the time! Thank you for teaching this method! Blessings to you!😀

In the UK we have a candy selection called Quality street. It has a caramel called toffee Penny. They are really creamy. Us Brits would love the melted caramel you are turning into chews xx

I wonder if the flat caramels can be set on a butter cookie and dipped in chocolate? Your recipe looks delicious!

I don't have specialty equipment. I feel the fool now, but the brilliant idea of using an electric slow cooker, to keep the chocolate in temper, has made my day.

I really enjoy watching her because she is straight to the point and very thorough.

You do such a great job of explaining all the steps. Love watching you cook!

Wow you did such a professional way of explaining how to make caramels! You explained everything so clearly, your presentation was superb, thank you for your great video!

Looks yummy.

I can’t wait to try this!

Wow! This looks great! I will definitely have to try!

I love the way you walked us through every step of this recipe. You show that you care, and even a child could follow you. Thank you so much ❤

Superb. Thanks.

This is a great video Louise. I've never made caramels before and your explanation is very helpful. Thanks!

You simply are the best❤️❤️❤️

never thought to use an instant pot for fondue pot to keep the chocolate worm that is such a good idea and thank you for the recipe this is one i will try !

I have never made caramel this way. I will have to try. Thank you for your instructions also. 🥰

I’m so glad I found your channel!

Looks so yummy... I'm going to try it out. :) Thank you!!!

I love your channel! Thanks for the recipe, I will be making this! Merry Christmas!!

I've recently got a ninja 9 in one ..I felt lost and confused with trying different KZfaqrs channels . Now I've found you.... You are fantastic... I love the way you explain everything so well.... Your voice is so relaxing ... Thank you so much for all you do for us ninja newbies. ❤

Wow!! Absolutely the easiest way to make caramel I've ever seen. I can't wait to try it. I'm making your peppermint patties again this year also. They are delicious!

Love your channel! Enjoy watching you make your recipes & explain so naturally. Thanks for your hard work. Have a blessed Christmas & Happy prosperous New Year. 🎉😊

Thanks for making it simple, I do not like hard recipes that have too much to do.

I'm going to try this way. It'll be my first time making it

Appreciate you showing mishap/mistake. Made me smile😊

These actually look so easy and nice. My dad always made caramels etc in our house when I was younger and since him and Mum are both gone I haven’t bothered but seeing you make this I thought why not give it a go. YFS and for the inspiration to give them a go. I’ve also subscribed to your channel.

I’ve never made caramels before, but this looked so easy. I made jalapeño peanut brittle today and it rained here in Texas, so the brittle wasn’t brittle, more like chewy! I should have waited a day or two because I knew better. I did wait for a dry day to make Divinity and it turned our great! I have to try these caramels. Thanks for showing how to make them.

Before I started watching this I thought to myself this video might be too long…until I realized it was exactly what I needed o know. You gave the BEST instructions and it was everything was concise. Easily 😊explained and easy to listen to. Thanks for the details. I’m looking forward to making these. Also subscribed to your channel. And you’re’ right; it is the ONLY homemade recipe you’ll ever need. Thanks.

Blessings always. 💯🙏❤️. great job 💯👏

That was a well presented video with very clear instructions. I'm definitely going to make these.

This looks yummy! Thank you. I can’t wait to try it

Oh boy! This is epic!

Thanks!

I've been looking for this recipe, thank you so much!! My cousin used to make caramels when she stayed with us when I was little. I haven't had them in 54 years! I can't wait to make these! ❤😊

Yummy..🤗

Thank you

Yummy

Wow!

You amaze me at everything that you make but this here has just blown my mind away now when I go to my job and I work in like a store and I work in the baking aisle all the time I have to deal and stock a lot of sugar and now when I see the sugar no I'm going to see is caramel and it does just blows my mind I thank you for sharing this and I have been watching you ever since I have learned with you and I want to cry because I think you because when my mom was alive she had died this month last year and it just seems like yesterday she taught me everything she knew and then I have a sense to know how to critique her recipes it expanded her business she was on a show called policans live she was well known at the farmers market and I just wish that I could still be in those areas of where she was to give let people try new things because even at my job I have come up with so many new ideas of anywhere from muffins to cakes to pies I have a very creative imagination and this is what I was known for in school even though I wanted to study to be a veterinarian or economical science but with the passing of my mom and try to make it on my own it's just really hard to try to keep the bills paid and try to cook and I have no TV no nothing they came in and took all of my mom's stuff no bed and stuff but that's besides the point you and some other Cooks is all I've got this is all I've studied since Christmas since I was alone and you have blown my mind and I thank you for you sharing your recipes so it would be easier for me to make things as you show then to go out and try to buy I think it gives me more an idea of life and to create fun for me bless your heart and thank you so much but this one here has really taken the cake thank you so much. ......... six

Ok..I'm a fan! Simple and straight to the point!❤❤

I really appreciate all your advise as it makes such common sense and you also explain why for a lot of things that don’t make sense to me❣️❣️👋🇨🇦

Fantastic information. So informative!!!

The store-bought ones are hard to find, very expensive and sometimes have questionable ingredients in them! Thank you so much! I would never attempt this without first having watched your video! I have LPR and can't have chocolate right now, but I'm going to try dipping them in melted carob chips. 0 (big hug for you)

We never used a thermometer either. Always the water test 😊 And we cut ours with candy scissors and we would stack our tray on top of another tray with ice water so that it cools faster after dipping in chocolate.

I made these yesterday and let me say your glass bowl in the instant pot is a game changer! Followed your recipe to a T, used a pizza wheel to cut them, and that was wonderful- so you'll have to try that. They turned out perfect, and I added flakes of sea salt on half of them just in case you stopped by for a bite😂. I made your peppermint patties a couple years ago and they were perfect. Thank you for all your great recipes and guidance I get from your videos! So talented!!

Love the 'old school' method! I guess a double boiler for the chocolate ? Thanks for the video!

I've done this method for decades but I use a " mash " potato pan and always a wooden spoon I also poor it in a cookies sheet (for double batches) then cut it pieces when set and wrap in wax paper

Ceramic over copper pans are great. Ditch non stick chemical pans everyone ♥️ yummy video thanks

Aww Steve great video, God speed and safe travels ❤💯

These look so delicious! Thank you for sharing this…I remember watching my mama make old fashioned fudge, she used the water test. I’ve made caramels before but never never seen them made this way, very interesting!🤗

The old fashioned way it’s the best very simple

Yum! Salted caramel is my new favorite!

Hi from Ireland delighted to find you

You are the bomb!!! Thanks for all these scrummy recipes...God Bless & have a brilliant Christmas holiday...

Thank you for pronouncing caramel correctly. 😉😋 I’m glad I found your channel, I love that you use simple ingredients to create yummy recipes.

so glad I found this amazing explanations tyty

Hi there, you have just given me the way to make the perfect caramel to make turtles. I had almost given in to buying rollo candy! Thank you so much 😊

First batch burnt. Second batch was perfect. ❤ delicious

For those of us not crazy about sales caramel, would this recipe work with just a pinch of salt, instead of the amount you put in this recipe? Just curious. These look so good, and I love the knife-fork method of dipping.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE watching you do your thing!!! I know I've been following for over a year because I watched some of your videos last year for Christmas!! LOL!!! You ALWAYS brighten my day, lift my mood by 4 or 5 notches at least and not that you are but your presence feels much like you're a cousin to me, if that makes any sense...LOL!!! You know when you have the one cousin you're closer to than your own sister or mom and you do a lot of things together.... I kind of get a feeling similar to that even though we don't know each other and aren't even in the same city/town much less the same room! You are just that kind of special where the love and compassion you have for others, and that you're a natural born teacher, comes through the screen and can be felt by those taking in more than a simple cooking lesson or just the recipe. Thank you much for sharing Much Love, Big Ole Mama Bear Hugs and Many, Many Blessings to you and yours!!!!!

I find a super large fork, the kind used with a carving knife, to dip is easier to tip off the dipped candy!

To combat the parchment paper, I use binder clips to keep them in place.

I have found that adding a quarter cup of water per cup of sugar, using a lid, and bringing to boil to make a syrup, removing the lid and then boiling off the water before caramelizing, without ever stirring, is much easier and quicker. The first time I stir is after I add the cream.

thank you. making this today :)

Homemade baby milky ways lol love it. Thanks for sharing I will try this one for sure. Looks easy enough and not so time consuming. Have a great day

New subscriber here. I can say that I never seen/heard of a recipe to make caramel before and definitely am going to give it a try. Easy and clear explanation and to the point. Thank you!

Glad I am not the only one who prefers unsalted caramel. Can't wait to make these. I never thought about making my own. I love Sanders caramels, but now they only come with that salt on them. Im local to the factory and every single caramel they sell has that salt on it. I had to pass. Such a disappointment. These look wonderful! Thanks for sharing!❤

Love All your vids Louise, thanks for sharing recipes & demonstrating so aptly. I was wondering where ppl can purchase those little papers as for wrapping the caramel chews? Would those be appropriate to wrap the peppermint patties or other homemade candies? I am now knowing if I should individually wrap for gifting or just assemble without a wrapper before boxing, glass jar, or whatever!!

I'll leave some plain because I'm sure they're amazing even without the chocolate.

Thank you for such a thorough explanation! This is the way we made caramels with my mom! You do such a great job demonstrating the technique and the step-by-step instructions are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!

New viewer. From san antonio tx. Wonderful video

Looks like my kitchen today. Only I was making turtles candy for Christmas on Sunday. ( if they last that long)I haven’t tried the dry method. I’m certainly keen to try it. Those chocolate covered caramels look wonderful. Caramel and chocolate, match made in heaven.

Ooooohhhhh, yummy! Bulldog or binder clips help with keeping the parchment paper in place.

I've made the Fanny Farmer Mr. B recipe many times...takes an hour of stirring and cooking (removes moisture) to get the caramel up to candy temp. The result is wonderful. I wonder what the taste difference is with cooking the sugar first, versus longer cooking time?

Wow your food looks amazing made the peppermint turn out amazing too for christmas thanks so much hope i can make this look hard but will try it thanks

TFS. It's frustrating when people use metal utensils in a nonstick pan. I always smile when I watch your videos. Super sweet smile.

I love stirring with my spaghetti-thing.

If I use a regular crock pot for melting chocolate how long does it take to melt and how long would it be good for sitting in the pot

First the good news: This video and your website have the best explanation of dry method caramel on the internet as far as I've been able to tell. Thank you so very much for that. Now the bad news: I just finished whipping up a batch of caramel per your instructions, but it did not turn out well. Wait! I'm not suggesting it's your fault; it's not. I have so much history making wet method caramels, that I was not prepared---even though you warned me---for how quickly things would go. I let the temperature get away from me, and got a bit of a burned, bitter flavor. I'll try again, tomorrow, but today I'll just lick my wounds, instead of caramel. Again, thanks for your video and for your website, both of which are excellent.

I don't know why you ended up om my feed 🎉 but I'm so glad you did You the bomb. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Question….when using parchment paper, does the slick side touch the bottom of the pan or should the food be sitting on the slick surface?
