Have you tried the carmels in the new Mary Jane's magazine? It is great!
I made 2 batches and the family ate it faster than I can make it. Last night I made another batch and put on a skillet with butter and pecans and a little salt to be cooking at the same time, stirring occasionally. I cooked the carmel to a softball stage and then poured the carmel mixture into the skillet with the pecans, stirred and cooked just a little together, poured into a small square buttered pan and this morning, the carmel is firm but still soft in the mouth and it is delicious. I wrapped the small pieces in wax paper. My daughter went on and on about them. We had a large harvest of all kinds of nuts this year and I purchased pecans from local farmers.

Sarita-
I am getting ready to make the caramels, they sound delicious. I could only find light corn syrup at the Co-op, hopefully it works for this recipe. The pecans would be wonderful, I am using walnuts and coarse sea salt.

Janet, go to the Stitching and Crafts forum and on the second page is Burr..Time to Knit mittens and you can find out lots of information about the mittens, source of patterns, etc. They are very easy to make and very warm.

Terri, good try! Let me know if you can find a fat free carmel recipe. After eating on these carmels, I am going to need to find some low fat, no calorie foods to eat in order to get in my jeans.

I made the caramels just before Thanksgiving. I thought they definitely needed the salt! My son and a couple of our friends liked them though.

My daughter and I made MaryJane's caramels during a raging snowstorm last weekend--they were wonderful! I took some to work, and everyone gobbled them right up.
I even wrapped some in butter wrappers (ours are foil here in Canada) and they looked so pretty!

RIGHT Cheryl, lol
I made some Peanut Butter Fudge yesterday, but BOY are they ever so sweet! The recipe called for a lot of sugar so I poured it in. But now they are just crunchy sugar fudge, lol.
I have to throw them out, can't eat these. Am gonna try to make some others, with way less sugar this time and more PB, lol.
