These caramels were a bit too firm for my taste. I think I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I'm not a fan of cappuccino, but I actually really liked these caramels! The flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my caramels turned out grainy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These caramels were way too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure how I feel about the combination of cappuccino and caramel. It sounds like an interesting flavor, but I'm not sure if I would like it.

I'm allergic to coffee, so I'm not sure if I can make these caramels. Is there a substitute for the cappuccino powder?

These caramels were easy to make and turned out great! I used a candy thermometer to make sure the sugar syrup reached the right temperature, and they came out perfectly smooth and creamy.

I'm not usually a fan of caramels, but these were surprisingly good! The cappuccino flavor was subtle but still noticeable, and the caramels were perfectly chewy.
