I tried this recipe last week. It is very easy, and yummy. However, the next time I make it I plan on including some vanilla and a pinch of salt in the caramel mixture. To me it is a little bland.

My first time to make candy this way. Super easy to do. I even doubled the recipe on the second batch and had no problems!
