Is the original recipe done with margarine or do you use it for health reasons?
It is not only a perfect gift, it's a hard one to give. Who wouldn't want to eat some themselves?
What's waved paper? I've never heard of it.
If it's a typo, it's a good one as it sounds kid of neat. Waved Paper
Actually, it sounds high quality expensive.
High 5 waved papers for your caramels.
