Notes

*Soft-ball stage: if you do not have a candy thermometer, the best way to test if your caramel is at the soft ball stage, get a bowl of cold water. Transfer a small amount of caramel to the cold water and see if it forms a soft, pliable ball. 
*This caramel stays fresh up to 2 weeks in an air tight container. 
*Makes 3 1/4 cups of Caramel Dip.
