*The syrup needs to cook a while as you stir to reach 240 degrees, but they are worth it. This batch made a smaller pan of caramels and about 15 carmel apples. So good.

It is great. It is worth all the stirring but I do recommend quickly wrapping it when its cooled so you will eat less or just plan on giving part away. I can't stop eating it.
