The recipe is correct. I am sorry this happened to you. I am certain you have great candy making experience, and you do well with candies. I am sorry that they did not set up. This recipe does work, but it didn’t, maybe some tiny bit of water got in there and messed up the process. I wish I could give you a better answer. Again, I am very sorry you had a bad experience.

I have been making these for years. I line my 9×13 pan with non-stick foil that I can just lift out of the pan and peel off of the caramels. I have also found that a pizza cutter is an easy way to cut them.

One of the best caramels I have ever ate. It was a big hit with everyone. Only problem was trying to get the slab out of the dish after the caramel was set up.
I covered the caramels pieces with chocolate and added some nuts on top.
Just need to know a better way of getting the slab out of the glass dish.
You may want to try to line that pan with waxed paper so you can just lift out the waxed paper ~stephanie

you probably didn’t let them cool long enough. I make these every year, with the nut, and they are never stringy. And maybe you didn’t cut the pieces all of they way down.
