    The reason that your temperature stalls out around 220 F, is because there is water in your caramel, and that needs to boil out first before your candy is ready.

      Yup. When I make candy, I know the water’s gone went the temp shoots up.

    I made these for Xmas and my family *LOVED THEM* 😋 . I will say this... if you don’t have a candy thermometer; be sure to simmer it for 25-35mins. I simmered mine for 25mins, but it was shy of the perfect texture... a little too soft. Hope this advice helps!! 🍬🍬🍬

    I grew up making these with my Mom. Such great memories. So glad you showed the drip/water method of testing. That was the most magical part for me as a kid. Mom backed that up with a candy thermometer too. Thanks for posting this. 💖

    First time I've ever made caramels and they came out perfect. The temp did stall at about 230 for a few minutes and I took them off at about 238. Chilled overnight and they were amazing!

  • @brettwelshans5084
    @brettwelshans5084 Рік тому +3

    I use white sugar and heated mine to 240° on low heat. They were very soft but not sticky and otherwise came out perfect. This was my first time making caramel and it was a success. Thank you!

    1 cup unsalted butter ≈ 227 grams
    14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk ≈ 396 grams (1 ounce is approximately 28.35 grams, so 14 ounces is about 398 grams, but there may be a slight variation)
    1 cup corn syrup ≈ 320 grams
    2 cups brown sugar ≈ 400 grams (assuming packed brown sugar)
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract ≈ 10 grams
    1/4 teaspoon salt ≈ 1.5 grams
    235°F to 240°F (113°C to 116°C

    I made this today, it's very tasty. I screwed up not cooking it until it reached the correct temperature It was too soft. I went to 230. I also used dark brown sugar, use light brown sugar.

    My daughter makes caramels every year at Christmas time from a recipe I got from my sister-in-law, but I've never had the courage to try making them myself. This might push me over the edge, because now my mouth is watering! And I really like being able to make and use invert sugar instead of corn syrup! Thanks!

    I have tried 3 different Carmel recipes and this one IS the best. I only used one stick of butter though. I didn't want that many calories in my Carmel. The candy came out amazing. I do suggest lining the pan either with parchment or waxed paper. After I cut the candy I did wrap small pieces in waxed paper. I placed candy in Ziploc bags and I'm storing them n the freezer. I might even dip some in chocolate because I like that combination. Maybe use peanut butter and chocolate? I like coconut and Carmel really good.

    I wish I could hug you and your grandma! Haha...my family has gone BONKERS for this. I do prefer to cook mine a bit further because I like it firmer and I find it also does not stick so much to the wrappers. I doubled the vanilla also. (My homemade vanilla!)
    We like to eat apples and along wth the apples we have a "log" of caramel. Haha seriously I am not kidding. My brother said holy cow..."this is the best stuff I've ever eaten.) I have found that doing it the old fashion way works best for me. Although I use my digital thermometer to get an idea of exactly how hot it's getting when it feels the way I like it. Thank you for sharing your family's recipe!!!

  • @Starowicz9
    @Starowicz9 9 місяців тому

    These look absolutely delicious, the texture is especially impressive. I am confused why it's called a caramel, as you don't actually caramelize the sugar at any point. Usually the sugar is browned first without the dairy because sugar doesn't brown until 320F.

      @Isabella66Gracen 3 роки тому +1

      Agave syrup is better than honey, honey isn't consistent batch to batch. It can still crystallize. I think its possible glucose syrup could work, but true invert sugar is a mix of glucose and fructose.
