Remove from Microwave and pour into a buttered 8″x8″ pan, if you want them salted with sea salt, lightly salt them now, then place in the fridge for 10 minutes. Remove from Fridge and invert on a piece of parchment or wax paper. Or cut them while they are in the pan.

As I mentioned, if you want Soft Caramels that don’t hold their shape very well, cook them for exactly 6 minutes.

If you want Firm Caramels that hold their shape regardless than cook them for exactly 7 minutes.
