I made these tonight (well, last night technically since it's after midnight) and they are delicious! I've never made caramel before, fearing the molten hot mixture would somehow get on my skin, but decided to suck it up and try it after reading your touching story. They are in the fridge and I will begin wrapping tomorrow. It took every once of self control I could muster not to drag my finger through the cooling candy. I only have one 8x8 pan so I used that and my 13x9, pouring them out to be the same thickness (I wanted nice square caramels so I didn't want to use round pans). Thank you so much for sharing a treasured family recipe!
