Looking delicious and very easy to make

Another WINNER! This is my go to channel when I need a recipe. As a professional cake decorator for over 35 years I've made many desserts over the years. My only regret was not having this channel for guidance throughout those years. This sure would have lessened a lot of errors and headaches a long the way. And last, damn this caramel taste great and she was not kidding, it takes an hour.

Unfortunately I would be worried they wouldn't turn out quite right. :)

I have a bit of a dilemma. Made these last night. Cooked to 242F. Barely got it poured out of the pot into the tray before it was beginning to scorch on the bottom from not stirring for a few seconds. Today went to cut into pieces and they're definitely not as soft as yours. A bit on the harder side. I'm guessing they've cooked a tad too long? Although I did use my candy thermometer. Now I'm wondering if there's a way to soften them a bit. Maybe melt some, add a touch of cream and let set again?? I made these to use in other recipes calling for Kraft caramels like carmelitas but I don't want hard caramels. Please advise what u would do.

@SugarSpunRun

Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to soften them. :( I would probably use a little bit lower temperature if it started to burn that quickly. :(

Couldn't you put the salt on when it's still warm to allow it to set in a bit?

You won't want to do it while it's too warm that it'll melt the salt. I've never really had issues with it not sticking. :)

I wait 20 minutes after pouring the caramel into the pan and then sprinkle salt over top. The surface is warm enough to hold the salt but generally the caramel is cooled enough to not melt it.

Can you provide a link to the knife you use to cut the caramels? I make my mother's caramels every Christmas, but I would like to try your recipe. My mother's recipe is very similar to yours (she didn't use evaporated milk, however, only heavy cream). She also used a Wear-Ever aluminum pot for making her caramels. A few years ago I bought a 4-qt non-stick pot, and find it is so much easier when stirring and when pouring out the caramel mixture when it is done because the mixture just slides out. It is also much lighter than the stainless pan I had used previously. Plus, it has silicone handles, which also make it much easier and safer to handle when pouring the caramel mixture into the prepared pan! I also use a long silicone spatula. Since I give the caramels as gifts (my mother is no longer able to cook), I wrap them in 4x4" foil candy wrappers (my mother just cut up wax paper), which come in beautiful colors for Christmas, or clear cellophane wrappers.
