Just a quick comment to the readers that had sugary caramel... NEVER under any circumstances scrape the pan. The tiny sugar crystals on the sides of the pan can and will crystalize your caramel, resulting in a grainy, yucky caramel. Return it to the pan and boil it on medium-low just until the sugar crystals are dissolved, about 5-10 minutes.

I don't know if I did something wrong, but this recipe didn't work for me at all. It turned out very hard, crumbly, and way too sweet. I had better luck with another recipe.

Linda, Thank you for this recipe! I am a really busy Mom that needed to adjust my candy making time but keep the quality as good as the longer versions. These caramels are excellent! Easy to cut and smooth and rich to eat! BUT the best part is these are so easy! Thank you!

I was really unhappy with the results of these caramels, they are sugary texture and I threw out the whole pan. Use the recipe that has corn syrup in it!!! I learned the hard way...........

I was glad to find this recipe because I didn't have any corn syrup on hand. I followed the directions and even used my candy thermometer but was disapointed because they turned to sugar - grainy, not chewy at all. I have never had caramel do that before. Tasted okay but won't make again.

Recipe is too sweet and does not taste as good as other caramels. Cooked it to 260 but never got hard enough. Go with a recipe that calls for cream and corn syrup (it will be much better and not as sweet).

This is my favorite caramel recipe because it's so much faster than the original that calls for cream. I've been making this for years and it's never failed! A must for the holidays - good for caramel apples too!

I'll admit that I am a first time caramel (candy) maker, but I did not care for this. I mean... how do you get the sugars to melt to 250 degrees without burning the sugar? (Yes I have a candy thermometer.) Stiring obviously made it worse. Not only was it grainy, but it had burnt chunks it it.
