Comments: masala caramels! Every year I like to bake something around the holidays because I feel it's grounding and kind of sheltering from the comercialism that has become so rampant, so I've been making things for my mom's co workers for several years now, as it also alieviates her having to find stuff for them. This year I got it in my head to do some masala caramels. Luckily, such things do exist and I was able to find a recipe online. I tweaked the recipe, halving the amount of garam masala required and making up the difference with roasted cinnamon. I also doubled the amount of vanilla extract because, uh, I poured too much into the teaspoon and overflowed. But it turned out really tasty, I'm pleased to say! It was my first time making candy so I watched a bunch of tutorials, ha. I had ordered these cute little fair isle-y candy wrappers online (sadly the photo there didn't turn out as well as I first thought) which really upped the visual appeal. I think I'll try making them again next winter!
