    Sorry, GM, you have printed this recipe in vain as far as I am concerned.

    I will NOT be turning on my oven today. The weather forecast here in the Philadelphia area calls for the temperature to be 100 degrees F. ( 37.8 degrees C .)

    I will instead head for the nearest ice cream freezer and leave you to your delicious sounding Caramel Fingers….

    Ooooooh how I love these. I have found cheating is the way to go. Buy a tin of ready made caramel :D

    I’m with Nancy. We are in an oven and my air conditioner is running full blast. No cooking for this chick.
