Microwave Magic: The Cooking Process
Place the bowl in the microwave and heat it for 6 minutes. It’s essential to pause the heating process occasionally to stir the mixture. This not only helps achieve a smooth texture but also ensures that the ingredients are evenly heated, reducing the risk of any parts overheating or burning.
Cooling and Setting the Caramel
Once the mixture has cooked and is beautifully smooth, carefully pour it into a greased pan. Spread the caramel evenly and let it cool at room temperature. The cooling process allows the caramel to set and develop the perfect chewy texture that makes these treats irresistible.
Cut, Wrap, and Enjoy!
After the caramel has cooled and set, cut it into small bite-sized pieces. Wrap each piece in wax paper to prevent sticking and to make them easy to share and enjoy. This step adds a charming, homemade touch to your caramels, making them even more special.
