They won't hold thier form for anything. I let them cool, then tried to cut them and once I pull a piece out, the remaining caramel fills in the empty spot. Even after cooling overnight. I was finally able to cut them up and wrap them, but even a few days later, they just kind of ooze (I took a bite, left it on the counter on the wrapper and came back an hour later to a flat blob of caramel). Is there any thought on how to make them just a little less soft?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13563','Ali'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Hi – I made these and they taste great, but the consistency is off.

Salt + Caramel = Heaven! You know what else is good... Dip a marshmallow in melted chocolate and sprinkle it with salt! :D :D<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10682','Cassie Baker'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I totally agree!

I just need to buy salted butter (I've only bought unsalted butter for about 2 years now with all of the baking I do). Yum! I have the candy thermometer that looks kind of like a meat thermometer (no obvious bulb). Do you think the same tilting technique would apply? Also, while this should be obvious, do not use a plastic spoon. Ask me how I know!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10674','Seanna Lea'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> I will ignore my thighs.

So, so good. With butter, cream and fleur de sel, how could they not be? I've used cut up squares of waxed paper to wrap them and it worked well but Amazon has precut sheets of candy sized foil wrappers that are so pretty and work even better.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('10671','Jennifer'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Oh, I love those!
