Here's a tip for sizing the wrappers:
If your caramels are square:
- measure across the top of a piece,
- measure down the side,
- add the two measurements together,
-double it,
- add about 1/4" for overlap.
Cut squares this big each way. If you're like me and usually end up with a variety of sizes, select your largest piece to be your "fitting model".
If you have cut rectangular caramels: you'll need to do the above twice, once for each measurement of the top. Your two results are the length and width your rectangular wrappers should be cut.
These caramels look great! It's too late this year to make them for my goodie bags, but they are going on my short list for next year.
