I've made a LOT and in the process I have learned a few shortcuts along the way. Today, I am going to share them with you.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Just go ahead and thank me now, because caramels are quite literally, a messy business. What with all the greasing of the pans, cutting the caramels and then rinsing (and rinsing again) the knife, cutting all those wax paper squares and having to twist them too, that's all in the past! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Woohoo!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">If your family and friends love it when you treat them to homemade caramels like mine do, this little <a href="https://www.michaels.com/bite-size-silicone-treat-mold-by-celebrate-it/10103270.html">silicone treat mold</a> ( I use two) will be your new favorite kitchen tool. Well, that, and this <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mini-Chip-Bag-Sealer-Portable/dp/B07JNJH31C">mini bag sealer</a> and these <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Wrappers-Caramels-Cellophane-Transparent-Packaging/dp/B09NLQJYH9">cello bags</a>.
