- Bake 25 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Use foil to lift it out of pan. Cut into bars. (To store, place bars in a single layer in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.) Makes 30 bars.
Tip
- Use a kitchen scissors to snip vanilla caramels into smaller pieces. To prevent sticking, lightly coat the scissors with nonstick cooking spray.
