Salted Caramels in the Microwave

I don't know what it means, but I am having a lot of cravings for certain flavors.  The latest,  Salted Caramel.  Pinterest, and I joined a group, Caramel Goodness, that's the reason!  Up until now, I had never made caramel candies.  I found two recipes that I am trying and I am excited to share both, but one at a time.

My first time can you believe it?  This recipe is very easy... I saw this gorgeous piece of caramel and then clicked and then....you know the rest.  Thanks to  Jenn @ Rook No. 17 ~ where creative things take wing for sharing!


I couldn't quit taking pictures of my candies!
