How to make caramels, step-by-step

1- Lightly grease a 8″ x 8” and line with foil or parchment paper

2- In a medium-sized microwaveable bowl, stir together all ingredients to combine

3-Cook in microwave six minutes on high, stopping to stir after every two minutes. After six minutes, check the temperature with a candy thermometer, and if it’s below 245°F (118°C) continue cooking in thirty second intervals until 245°F (118°C) is reached. If no thermometer is available a teaspoon of caramel can be dropped into a glass of cold water and should form a soft, pliable ball.
