Three Layer Caramels
Ingredients
Directions
Prepare a batch of Fine Caramel for Warm Weather.
Pour out half of the caramel and mix the other half with ¾ pound of liquor chocolate until smooth.
Set the mixture over low heat and pour it onto a greased slab, spreading it thin.
In a pan over boiling water, melt 10 pounds of fondant until smooth.
Pour the melted fondant over the chocolate caramel and spread it thin with a palette knife.
Pat the cream with your hands until softened and the grain is broken.
Turn the vanilla caramel upside down and wipe it with a damp cloth until sticky.
Place the vanilla caramel on the cream, stick side down, and roll it with a rolling pin until firm.
Cut into pieces with a sharp knife.
