thanks for everything! It was well worth the experience.

she loves the flavor, but they're chewier than she would prefer. She's planning on using part of it (it made a lot) to put on some brownies. To get it to stand up firmer, do I need to leave it boiling for a little longer, at a little hotter temperature? It seemed like between 240-245...

allllrighty.... it seems like it will work out very well. the caramel is now in the refrigerator. It's still really warm so I will bet that is why it is not set up yet. The caramel that was on the thermometer (candy thermometer) tasted really really good, and it had cooled down and had set up...

I can hold the pan different ways and it seems to be a bit runny.

how long does it take for the caramel to cool do you think? Do i need to put it in the fridge?

this is pretty neat, it's in the pan, cooling. This is gonna be some thick caramel. Would it be ok to sprinkle some extra nuts on the top of it?

this is weird... it's getting thicker as it gets hotter, I wouldn't have assumed that.. also it's the consistency of liquid bread or something... there are holes and air pockets in it, kind of strange... neat. only 5 more degrees to go.

is it ok that it's boiling? I figure thats ok.....but wanted to make sure...

so apparently I have some competition... a husband who has tried, and has not burned the batch. well I met a lot of older ladies at the store today, asking where things were... so now here I am, back in the kitchen... this should be real fun.

ok I got your PM.. I'm going to head to the store, be back in 45 mins! Thanks a bunch! Woww! if you have any tips on making this (make sure you... don't let it... watch out for...) let me know! Thanks again!

that kinda makes me nervous! Well i'll give anything a shot. And yes, my wife is very forgiving.

i actually think what i found is a candy thermometer...but it wasn't in the bathroom, it was in the kitchen, and it says the word CANDY on it. and it looks like it would clip on the side of a pot

let's go with the mocha caramel thing... do you have a link to a recipe you like, or could you post a recipe here? wow you guys are fast!

yeah that last part about the thermometer wasn't serious at all.. but guess what I found! a thermometer that says "Deep Frying - Candy - Jelly" and it is real big..... like 5 pencils stuck together.

I have a thermometer... i've gotta find it, probably in our bathroom... is that what you mean? Mocha caramels sound good... she likes coffee things (mocha is coffee + chocolate right?) and she likes caramel.
