You got it lady!! Slow cooker on low with your newly found gold( trim) for 4-6 hours.
Strain it through a coffee filter, pair of panty hose etc, then let cool. (Bet you have to go to the dollar store to aquire a pair of pantyhose 😂😂)Once it’s cool, there may or may not be a bit of water trapped under the butter. If there is, drain it, and let the butter dry. I freeze it at this point to use in recipes. It would last a month or so in the fridge if you can use it up fast enough.
If you’re actually going to try making the caramels without a mould, make sure you’re good and high, and the giggles will abound. Nothing more ridiculous than trying to hand cut 64 caramels😂
