These little gems are so quick, easy and delicious you will be making them often.
I make a lot of candy during the holiday season but caramel is just one of those things I had never made. To me it was too intimidating to make sure that it wasn’t over done or under done (yep, I know, SILLY!!)
Well this recipe changed my world! Alright, not my world but definitely my entire perception of making caramel.
Enjoy!

In a large microwave safe bowl melt the butter for 1 minute.
Remove from the microwave and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.
Place back into the microwave and cook on high for 3 minutes. Take the bowl from the microwave and stir well.
Continue cooking on high for an additional 3 minutes, remove and stir.
Cook for 3 more minutes ( for a total of 9 mins.)
Remove from the microwave, stir and pour into a lightly buttered 9 x 13 pan.
Once caramel has set, wrap in wax paper and store in an air tight container.

Hi Melissa.
Sorry about that, it is a total of 9 minutes. Thank you for alerting me to the error. It’s been fixed now.
