Easy Caramels (Made In The Microwave) Recipe

"I'm willing to give anything that's easy a go, because these looked way to easy I have to admit I was very skeptical, I'm so glad I tried this caramel recipe because they turned out great! Every microwave is a little different, so you may have to play around until you get it just right, you may have to increase or decrease the cooking time by 15 seconds or so to get the caramels perfect. For my mircowave, Three minutes, 10 seconds gave me the perfect texture. If you want a softer caramel, you may want to decrease the cooking time slightly each cooking period. But even if you’re first batch comes out a bit hard or a bit soft, the flavor is still so good!"
