Caramel....

I attempted to make caramel today for the first time.

I was amazed that sugar, when it gets really hot, turns to a caramel-ish substance.

Then, you add butter, milk, vanilla, and sugar, and you are supposed to get real caramels.

I got something that tastes really good, but is not sticky like caramel.

It's kind of more like a cookie bar.

Tastes really good, but I'm looking for that sticky-ness.

Has anyone ever tried this before?

I am pretty sure I know what I did wrong. I think I need to cook it longer. I don't think the sugar dissolved completely.

I'll try again though.

4 people show me some love:

I make sticky, gooey caramel every year for Christmas. It's a recipe I got from my Grandma. I'll look it up and send it to you!

Yah, that looks good! My husband would devour that!!
