in cold water and it will form a firm ball, one that won’t flatten

Thank you! I absolutely LOVE vanilla caramels! They're by far my favorite
candy, and I'm always in search of the "best" recipe. Last time I made
them, they ended up hard as rocks. I'm going to have to try making them
again as soon as I get settled in my new abode in the next couple of weeks.
I'm going to try your recipe.
