Let me say first that I really like the many recipes I make from King Arthur. The Kringle itself was fine, but the topping made from melted caramels and cream was not at all a success. My guests were good sports about eating with their fingers--a fork wouldn't cut through the hardened caramel. I had to throw the leftovers away, because it was just too hard to chew. I like to give the Kringle a flavor boost with a little powdered sugar and extra salt and extract.
