I tried baking this into my caramel chocolate chunk cookie recipe, in lieu of Kraft Caramel Bits, and the caramel burned and curdled way too quickly causing the cookies to spread out before they could fully bake. Does anybody have any hacks they can offered up to prevent this from happening again?
I'm sorry that the Caramel Block didn't work as a substitute in your cookies. Please give our Baker's Hotline a call at 855-371-2253 to talk more about different techniques for using the caramel. MM @KAF

Good Flavor but Hard as a rock. Had to use cleaver to cut it. But that may be why it was on sale!
We're glad to know the flavor was a fit, but are sorry to hear that the block you received had become so tough! Consider reaching out to our Customer Support Team at 1-800-827-6836 so that we can address this experience on your behalf. Jesse@KAF

Can't speak to how it is in a baked product. Hasn't made it that far. Slicing off a piece is a terrific caramel snack!

Did not have the caramel flavor I expected. My husband did not care for it either.

This is just awful. It does not taste remotely the way caramel should and the texture is grainy as if the sugar is not completely melted. I should have looked at the ingredient list: no butter and a bunch of junk that does not belong in caramel. I usually make my own and will in the future. I thought I would give this a try for baking. it is not good enough to be even a minor ingredient in the bar cookies I was planning to make. Don't waste your money. I would mail it back but it would cost the 'refund' to do so. Yukky!!!
I am so sorry you didn't care for the caramel. Please call our customer service department so that we might help make this right for you. ~Jaydl@KAF

This stuff is great! Not at all like store bought. I made the Thousand Dollar Bars with it and they turned out wonderfully. The caramel is decadent and easy to use and hard to leave alone!

OH MY GOODNESS !!!! Soft, chewy, caramelly goodness!!!! I wish I could say we have used it in goodies but my boys have been too busy slicing pieces off the block and eating it. One did make a variation of s'mores and the caramel melted beautifully in the toaster oven.

I buy this caramel for baking and sauces, but it is amazing just as candy, with or without coatings or additions. These taste every bit as good as the caramels that would take my grandmother a solid of hour of non-stop stirring!

Easier to use than I expected (not as hard as I was afraid it might be). Better than average taste, not home made but then I didn't have to make it either.
