Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • flaky sea salt like Maldon or Fleur de Sel, for sprinkling
  • cooking spray
  • wax paper for wrapping candies

Instructions

Make the Sugar Syrup Mixture

Add the Cream and Butter

Pour and Chill to Set

Slice, Wrap and Enjoy!

Notes

  • spatula
  • heavy-bottomed pot
  • candy thermometer
  • Stop stirring the sugar syrup mixture once it is fully combined. This will prevent crystals from forming on the sides of the pan due to splashes. If you need to do so because the mixture is not evenly browning, use a gentle swirling motion only. You can use a wet silicone brush to remove the sugar splashes if necessary.
  • Once the sugar syrup mixture starts to turn brown, make sure to pay attention to it. It can quickly burn if you leave it unattended and will make the caramel bitter and too dark. You will not be able to fix it at this point and would have to start again.
  • I highly recommend using a tall wooden spoon or spatula to prevent any burns on your hands as the mixture can get hot, especially when the cream and butter are added. A tall, heavy-bottomed pot will help in cooking the caramel mixture evenly with less mess.
  • The caramels will be much easier to cut when they're cold. If it is still sticking when you slice, just spray a bit of oil on the knife.
  • While a candy thermometer is not necessary for making great caramels, it is highly recommended to achieve consistent results. A regular instant read thermometer does not reach temperatures high enough to work for this application.
