It is easy to make homemade pumpkin caramels and they are delicious, so you can make them for yourself or give them as gifts.

A sweet treat is a wonderful little pick me up!

These chewy candies are simple to make with white chocolate and real pumpkin, but they look and taste impressive.

If you have kids who like to help in the kitchen, this is a fun recipe to make together.

You may want to handle the double boiler, but even little ones can have fun rolling the caramels and wrapping them in wax paper.

They are perfect to package as a gift in a decorative mason jar, since they are individually wrapped.

Or you pop one in your pocket or purse to eat, when you need a little something special.

Enjoy!
