Incredible. Now imagine it's Christmas and you're making confections to give away in a pretty be-ribboned box. Inside the box will be this recipe. But it will be cut up into bite sized morsels, with each portion dipped into quality dark chocolate - just enough for a very thin coating. Sigh. Glen, I appreciate you.

Cara-mel and I are good friends, we are past that formal stage and they let me call them carmel.

"If you have problems with self-regulation, possibly not the recipe for you." LOL

As a native Californian who lived in Canada for many years, I’ve had the caramel conversation before. The funniest part to me is that the city here is pronounced car-mel, adding another variable to the situation.

[cawindt]

As a Michigander, I support your pronunciation of “carmel” 😂

[JustGuy]

Glen's comment about self regulation was for me because I so want to make this.

[ShooterMcNut]

This is my favorite couple on the internet.

[oreally]

It's like eating a homemade Payday candy bar.

As if I needed to love you more, the caramel pronunciation thing is a constant battle in my head. I am from Michigan originally and it will always be carmel for me. ❤

[MamaStyles]

Up my alley! No chocolate is needed lol. Now I am your age Glen and grew up in Toronto…and I have to admit I pronounce the A and twitch a little when I hear Carmel. But as my kids would say “ Mom that sounds like a YOU problem” and I have to concur with that. 😂

[tstahlfsu]

Just wanted to say you have one of the best channels on YouTube. Only found you a few months back, but I love it! As someone from Florida, I also say car-mel 😊

[ldg]

As a southern girl, Carmel is the proper pronunciation.. As a 60-something year old, … EAT ANOTHER PIECE!! Your life is meant to be lived! LIVE IT!!! Enjoy!

[nathanross]

My parents don't watch a lot of Youtube, so I always relay your latest videos. After about half an hour of telling my mom about these squares, she asked if I could copy off the recipe. Looks like I'll be trying these soon!

[anneinstx]

I grew up saying 'CARmel', so agree with you too. Grew up in Washington state. The city in CA is not CARmel, it is carMEL.

[ThePurplesquish]

Regarding your advice about hot sugar, I'm reminded of the time I made hard crack toffee and stupidly decided to taste it by swiping some with my finger off the spoon. 3 hours I sat with my hand in ice water before I could bear to move it. I'm just glad I didn't lick it.

What a perfect Saturday morning video…looks delicious, will be making this shortly…cheers from N.B.

[lwmkids]

I am sooo happy that I just happened to see this video...I hope that you (Jules, too) know that your videos are so wonderful! They're entertaining but more importantly they're very
educational...and that's not a bad thing. Please keep making them!!! Take care and stay safe!
❤🎉❤🎉

Thanks for this option Glen! Due to having Crohn’s disease, I cannot eat a number of things…one of those being Carmel Corn…so this is a DELICIOUS option!

I live on the West Coast and call it “CAR-MEL” as well.

Have a great weekend!🇨🇦😌

[alisondavis]

Imagine those little squares then dipped in melted chocolate! 😋

[cherylchristian]

Chocolate on top? More yum! I would love this, but it is not on my diet, so I will just enjoy watching you eat it. Thank you!
