Shitfuck.

I think my job in life is to let everyone down. Including myself. I'm screwed up physically and psychologically, which in turn is screwing up all my relationships. I can't handle it anymore. I hate that I'm this way. And that's also a problem. Either I have to work on everything, or at least accept the way I am. I can't seem to do either of those

The turtle look delicious! Dip you drop dollops of chocolate over them or try dipping them?

[aintmagicgrand]

Thanks! I dipped them carefully using two forks. The melted chocolate was a bit too hot, which made the caramel melt and spread like that. I didn't expect that to happen, but they ended up looking like the ones you buy in stores, so that was cool. :)

Did you make the caramel, too? I have yet to perfect that.

[aintmagicgrand]

Yes! It was my second try making caramel. The first time, it came out a little too hard. This time, it was just perfect. The candy thermometer really helps, but you need to pour the caramel out as soon as it's 120 °C (248 °F). If you wait a tiny bit longer, it'll get too hard.

These are the ingredients I used for the caramel:
- 1 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of 35% cream
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 1 cup glucose or white corn syrup (I used corn syrup)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
