Homemade caramel candies are one of the easiest candies you can make.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Delicious Flavor<\/strong>: These caramels melt in your mouth soft and give you an added dose of flavor with a little bit of browned butter, which I\u2019m kind of obsessed with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Easy Candy<\/strong>: Once you make these caramels you will want to make more treats just like it!

Scroll to the bottom of the post for exact measurements.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unsalted<\/strong> <strong>Butter:<\/strong> Adds even more depth of flavor because we brown it and add a very subtle nuttiness to the end result.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar:<\/strong> Melts beautifully and, when cooked down, turns into the most beautiful amber color.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dark<\/strong> <strong>Brown Sugar<\/strong>: Provides a rich depth of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Light<\/strong> <strong>Corn Syrup.<\/strong> This adds that sticky texture to the caramels and just a touch of sweetness.

A candy thermometer is crucial! Too low, and they will be too soft and sticky. Too hot, they will be hard and possibly grainy. For softer caramels, cook until 235-240, and for chewier caramels, cook until 245-250. You can see the windows are extremely narrow in temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How hot<\/strong>? Medium-low and slow is the trick to not burning or scorching your caramel. It will turn bitter if it is overcooked.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t scrape the bottom of the pan<\/strong>! There can be sugar crystals hiding down there, and they can ruin all the caramels. Just pour out what you can.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy-Bottom Saucepan<\/strong>: Use a heavy-bottomed metal pot for the most even cooking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The butter and sugar have split<\/strong>! This happens when the butter and sugar melt at different temperatures at the beginning of the cooking process. If they do separate, fix it by reducing the heat to the lowest setting and whisking quickly until it comes back together.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Why is my caramel oily after it cooled<\/strong>? The most common cause of oily caramels is an abrupt shift or shock of temperature during the cooking process. If the caramel is brought up or down in temperature too quickly. If you have to adjust the temperature, do it gradually so you don\u2019t end up with oily caramels.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Variations<\/strong>: You can change up your homemade caramels by sprinkling them with sea salt for salted caramel. Fold in \u00bd cup chopped pecans or walnuts, or dip in <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/how-to-temper-chocolate\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">tempered chocolate<\/a> or coating chocolate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-tip cwp-inner cwp-large\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading block-tip__title\" id=\"h-water-test\">Water Test<\/h2>\n<p>***<strong>If you don\u2019t have a candy thermometer,<\/strong> you can do the water test. It\u2019s a bit more difficult to make sure you catch the caramel when it\u2019s in the right temperature window. To do the water test, use a spoon to drop a few small drops of the caramel into a bowl of cold water. Be sure to use a fresh bowl of cold water for each test.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Thread Stage<\/strong>: If it ends up stringy or thread-like, then the caramel is in the\u00a0<strong>thread stage<\/strong>\u00a0(230-235 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Soft Ball<\/strong>: If it ends up in soft, pliable balls, then the caramel is in the<strong>\u00a0soft ball<\/strong>\u00a0stage. This is perfect for soft caramels (235-240 degrees Fahrenheit).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Firm Ball<\/strong>: If it ends up in a ball but only flattens out if squished between your fingers and is sticky, then it is in the<strong>\u00a0firm ball<\/strong>\u00a0stage. This is great for chewy caramels (245-250). \u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hard Ball<\/strong>: If it ends up in a ball and flattens out if squished between your fingers with some pressure but is not sticky, then it is in the<strong>\u00a0hard ball<\/strong>\u00a0stage. This will result in quite hard and extremely chewy homemade caramels and is not ideal (250-265). \u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Close up shot of the caramels cut up, and wrapped in different stages. \" class=\"wp-image-277027\" title=\"Homemade Caramels\u00a0are perfectly buttery soft with just the right amount of sweet.

In the fridge for up to 3 months. And in the freezer for up to a year.
