Microwave Caramels

I tried another of my Pinterest pins this weekend and it was a big hit!

Microwave caramels…who would have thunk you could make something this scrumptious in the microwave???

I made two batches…the first was rock hard and could not be chewed or cut with any knife I had in my kitchen…I didn’t want to get the chain saw out, so I ended up tossing it into the trash!  I couldn’t even melt it!

I scooped the caramel out with a melon baller before it set up.  And these caramels also boiled over in the microwave and created a ginormous mess, but yet they turned out perfect!  And the taste is so smooth and wonderful!

I love caramels! But I hate how time consuming they are. I'll definitely be trying this.

Wow, I didn't know you could make caramels in the microwave, I will have to try this, I love those soft gooey caramels like this. Just a thought, next time for the ones that got too hard, could you have melted them back and made them into a hard caramel candy like Werther's?

Jill said...

Oh yum - I'm off to check out that pin now!


Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit!
Hope you have a fabulous week!

Oh Ellen! Was it really necessary that you share this with me? Caramel is about as irresistible as it gets. And now I know how to make it myself. lol

I agree - caramel is the best. I didn't know you could do it in the microwave. I would be thrilled if you shared this at our Link It Up Thursday party, going on until Monday. http://thesepeastastefunny.blogspot.com/2012/02/link-it-up-thursday-8.html

Never would have thought you could make caramels in the microwave. Thanks so much for sharing at this week's BFF Open House!

I tried these and they are wonderful!! What a great idea to scoop them out with a melon baller. They are so soft that they are were kind of hard to get out of the pan. I will have to try that the next time I make them. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Link It Up Thursday.
