Caramel refers to a confection made from cooked sugar or sugar syrup. Although caramels can be as simple as sugar and water, they are often enriched with butter or cream, and flavored with the addition of vanilla, honey, chocolate, or nuts. The texture of caramel can be soft, chewy, or firm, depending on the ingredients and length of cooking time. The following caramel recipes range from the most basic caramels to elaborate candies for the more adventurous confectioner. Be sure to check out the step-by-step photo tutorial showing how to make caramels.
