Today I made a batch of Chocolate Carmels. YUMMY!!! I enjoy making them but I do NOT enjoy wrapping each of them! I usually use wax paper but this year I decided to try Press -n- Seal. They wrapped up easily - now for the test - to see how easily they UNWRAP!!! If you would like the recipe keep reading!!
Farmchick's Chocolate Caramels 2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups white Karo syrup
1 cup butter
1 cup cream
Mix ingredients. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Then slowly add
1 cup cream
3 squares unsweetened baking chocolate
Boil until mixture reaches 260 degrees - hard boil stage.
When it reaches 260 degrees add
one teaspoon vanilla
one cup nuts (optional)
Pour into medium sized, buttered pan.
Cool, cut and wrap!!!
Good luck on keeping everyone
out of your caramels before they
are all wrapped!! Have a wonderful
weekend everyone.

Hey Farmchick- My friend Troy and I were just checking out your website, and he wants you to tell the farmer that he didn't know he was such a good dancer, and in tights, no less! We were cracking up! This might be some good gossip for the 4H barn this summer!
