Trying out Caramels

[psychonaut]

Tried out caramels, not sure if they're going to be strong enough or not. Used 1 cup of butter in the recipe. 12x15 pan of caramels, I think around 80 pieces. I ate 2, now just waiting to see how strong that is. 1/16 of a brownie batch gets me pretty medicated using 3/4 cup of the same butter.

Wanna share the recipe?

I just made a batch of butter and want to try making something new

Sure but keep in mind the dose is going to be fairly weak as it's several cups of caramels and only 1 of those cups is the butter.

I live in the mountains at about 8000 ft, so if you're living at higher elevation, you'll want to stop cooking your caramel mixture when it reaches a specific temperature.

Thanks! Will give it a try once I make a more potent batch of butter.
