How to make it

  • Combine all ingredients for centers except sugar over low heat, stiring as caramel melts.

  • When the temperature drops, stir in remaining sugar and use a hand mixer set on high to combine.
  • Mix continually until the mixture is cooled and can no longer be worked. ( 1-2 minutes)
  • Let cool in the pan 10-15 minutes or unil you can safely touch it.
  • Take a small chunk and roll it between your palms until it forms a rope shape about the diameter of your index finger and 4 1/2" long.
  • (About a tablespoon)
  • Repeat until all mixture is used. Place on waxed paper and leave for 1-2 hours to firm up.
  • Meanwhile combine 20 unwrapped caramels wit 1 1/2 tsp water in a saucepan over low heat.
