Reduced Fat Caramels image

I found this recipe here but changed to nonfat milk. Since reduced fat margarines don't make that big a difference in fat content and butter is so important for flavor, I left the butter as is. This is an experimental work for me. The original author did not specify the size of the pan, so I'm guessing a 13x9 for small cubes of caramel.
