Overall, I thought these caramels were pretty good. They were easy to make and they tasted great. I would definitely recommend them to others.

These caramels were a disaster! They were too sweet, too chewy, and they didn't taste anything like licorice.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my caramels turned out really hard. I think I overcooked them.

These caramels were a bit too chewy for my liking, but the flavor was good.

I had some trouble getting the caramels to the right consistency. They were a little too runny at first, but I eventually got them right.

These caramels were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good.

These caramels were easy to make and turned out great! I used a candy thermometer to make sure they reached the right temperature. They were the perfect chewy texture.

I'm not usually a fan of licorice, but these caramels were amazing! The flavor was subtle and not overpowering. I'll definitely be making these again.

These caramels were absolutely delicious! The licorice flavor was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the caramel. I made them for a party and they were a huge hit.
