There is a clip on the thermometer to put it on the side of the pan so you can adjust it do not touch the bottom. I have made fudge and stuff for many years with a candy thermometer you don't just stick it in. Also I used to make the water test with ice instead of cold water
Hi Jill, I did make the caramels again for my family for Valentine’s Day and they were super pleased. I cut the candy into squares and rolled them in pecans. Wrapped the Carmel’s in cellophane paper and placed into a tin with hearts. Thanks again
Hello from Alaska. Got snowed in so decided to make these. Never have corn syrup on hand so use honey. Y2K I bought 120 #. Got a few quarts left. Any way I poured mine in silicone miniature brownie pan makes 24. Used the remaining caramel for pretzel 🥨 rods. Awesome. Your recipe is fast. Used to make this with the cream method took about 45 minutes. This is fast. Thanks for posting.
I made these today without a candy thermometer (mine broke a few years ago). They are delicious and the nonstick pan was a great idea. Clean up was a breeze. Thanks a million, your tutorial was very helpful.
YESSSSS YUM, my first time making caramels.. YUMMY and I even put them in silicone molds.. Woo hoo, thank you for being spot on with your instructional video
Thank You so much for your wonderful recipe. Many of the other caramel recipes use the microwave which I never use, plus corn syrup which is not to my tastes. I was already thinking of an alternative. Can’t wait to make these. I can smell them cooking. Thank You again, Juliette
I stayed true to your recipe Jill but added cinnamon & pecan when I added the vanilla and of course salt at the end. It smells amazing and looks good so far , we will see when it comes time for cutting in 45 mins. I’ve tried caramel before and it sucked, so hopefully hopefully it turns out it 2020 girl! I pray your family is well! Ours is and for that, we thank God! This is showing up to you on my husbands email but he is at work and it’s me Johna having fun at home!
Great video- Thanks! One thing I would have liked is to see you take a bite.. this shows exactly how hard/soft they are. I personally prefer a bit harder of a chew; but I couldn't quite tell where they were just by looking at them. 🙂
I made these yesterday and they were so good! My kids loved them. Only problem is after cutting them, they melted and pooled together over time. How do you make sure they stay into squares?
It sounds like it needs to be cooked a little longer. You can melt it down in a pan again and cook a few more minutes. The longer it's cooked, the firmer the caramel. Good luck!
If you try the cold water test, it’s better to take your pot off the heat as you test. Also it’s best to individually wrap the caramels as soon as they’re set , cold and cut because they’ll rapidly get impossibly sticky without wrapping. In wrappers they’ll keep far better. Tbh I’ve never had a batch of caramels last more than two days before being nommed so I know they’ll last that long at least lol.
Just made the first batch. Oh my! Yummy in my tummy! The next batch will be turned into chocolate covered turtles. As good as this is, the turtles will be heavenly! Thanks for a great, easy to remember recipe!
@@TheCarefreeKitchen I accidentally added a lot more sweetened condensed milk. Instead of 8 oz, I added the whole 14 of can. Everything else was just one cup. The caramels came out so creamy that those who tried them say they are the best they've ever had. I know the way they melt is not like any I've had before.
Over the past few weeks, I have attempted pumpkin caramels several times, and none have been very good. So I am going to try plain caramels. Having reviewed dozens of recipes, what I find interesting is that some recipes recommend NO STIRRING, while the others recommend CONSTANT STIRRING. Go figure!
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A LITTLE SCARED ABOUT MAKING CARAMEL, BUT THAT FEELING IS NOW GONE ESPECIALLY AFTER VIEWING YOUR EXCELLENT VIDEO. YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY. THANK YOU. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF YOUR RECIPES. TAKE CARE.
I made this tonight and it's Soo good!! The only thing is my candy thermometer broke 🤣 but I did the cold water test and I thought it was a soft ball but it's been sitting out for about 40 min .. (it's still sorta warm underneath my glass pan) but when I cut it the top is fine but the bottom looks to be just under soft ball. Can I throw it back in the pot ? If so, do I bring it to a boil again and try to get it to 240? I have a new thermometer coming tmw
Masha Allah. Bataye ke aap ye kya bana rahi hain? You tell me that after adding sugar to the caramel chocolate, What did u put jaggery or something else?
That looks so good, but seeing as i dont have a thermometer, ill have to do the water test. I cant wait, however its 1 am right now, so ill wait until tomorrow!
Made this recipe today it came out awesome but it was real sticking and soft it wouldn't cut like yours did in the video what is I do wrong it keeps getting real soft after it sits out for a little bit. I have to keep refrigerating to cut and wrap. Any suggestions?
Just made the recipe. I think I messed something up because as it cooled, it crystallized. It was silky smooth but as it got to room temp, it has the sugar texture back. Tastes great though
This probably happened because you had some sugar crystals still on the side of your pan while you were cooking. To avoid this, mix your sugars and water together, warm it a little and put a lid on it for a few minutes. The steam will wash any sugar crystals back into your mixture, then add the rest of your ingredients.
Please may I ask? Can these be wrapped in wax paper for gift giving? New Subscriber here and New to candy making. Thank-you for your wonderful receipe. Sincerely Debbie and Dexter-Dog my amazing chihuahua companion. 🙋🐾🏄💕🙏😷🏥🌴🌲
Do you know if Golden Syrup (refiners syrup from sugar processing) can be substituted for Corn Syrup? It is more easy to get hold of in the UK. Looks 😋
I have tried twice to make caramel. The recipe I used is slightly different- Evaporated milk instead of condensed. And both time the thermometer would get to the 240° but in the water test it didn’t ball up! But I panicked with not wanting to go above 240 since the recipe is was following says over 238 would result in too chewy caramels! My first batch is in jars now as sauce.... and lord knows how this batch will turn out. 😭 I don’t think I’m cut out for making caramels!
I have this recipe EXCEPT- the sugar is only the karo (no sugar and brown sugar) I should try this and see how it compares! Also what Pan are you using?
Right now in Dec 2021, we can't even find light karo syrup in a store. We had to go to Amazon. What's a candy thermometer? Kidding. My mother never needed one. She only used cold water for her candy.
I’m less than a minute in and I’m already giving you a like and follow just for pronouncing caramel correctly! Everyone knows the second “a” is silent. 😂❤

I made your recipe a week ago and my family loved it. They are already asking for more, so I’ll make it for Valentine’s Day!! Thanks again!!
Hi. Did you use salted butter or unsalted? I wanted to make sure.
I used salted butter. And it turned out great.
Thank you so MUCH! This is a wonderful recipe. I just watched this video, made a batch and my husband agrees that it's one of the best he's had. ❤️

Keep the thermometer tip clean between measuring temp if caramel left on from before it won't register correctly
Thanks for the tip!
I used this recipe to make Turtles. The part of testing with water was a great help. Delicious
They look amazing. I have to make some. I just subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your videos! TFS!❤️
Thanks so much! 😊
This looks wonderful and easy. I can’t wait to try it out.

Beautiful mixture of candy but what about Caramel flavor for the candy.
Hi, would you tell me if your butter was salted or regular one, please ? :) About to start trying your caramelous recipe :)
Worked first time thankyou! Clear concise cuppa cuppa cuppa Ty Ty ty
Looks great 👍🏾
Thank you so much! ❤️
Hi I love your recipe for this but must I use Brown sugar and the syrup.
Yes, maybe.
Oh I want to try thanks!
These are SO good!
Awesome looks delicious can I use coconut sugar instead of regular sugar I'm trying to cut back & out sugar?
I’m not sure. 🤔 I haven’t ever tried that.
Could I boil only a little while and use it as caramel syrup?
yes, you bet!
Thanks for the recipe
Most welcome 😊
Masha Allah.
Bataye ke aap ye kya bana rahi hain?
You tell me that after adding sugar to the caramel chocolate,
What did u put jaggery or something else?
Amazing, may I please have the recipe in grams?
How fast will this set up. Could I put it in a piping bag and squeeze it onto my cookie?
Tysm I tried 2 different recipes and both of them didn't work I was saying third time's the charm and I was right 💕💕
Great job!
That looks so good, but seeing as i dont have a thermometer, ill have to do the water test. I cant wait, however its 1 am right now, so ill wait until tomorrow!
The water test works great! That's what I usually use too.
Awsome try using heavy cream instead of condensed milk
Thank you for sharing.
Love caramelo. Thanks
Thank you Dr. Nina I love this 💕😊

Melt and recook
Thanks a lot for your easy recipe.
Most welcome 😊
Amazing what can be used in place of the syrup
This looks so good I want to try it right away. Just a question, though. How do you store this? Does it need refrigeration?
You can store it in a covered container outside of the fridge for a couple days but it will keep in the fridge for a couple weeks.
Just made the recipe. I think I messed something up because as it cooled, it crystallized. It was silky smooth but as it got to room temp, it has the sugar texture back.
Tastes great though
I’m not sure what happened. Did you use evaporated milk or sweet and condensed milk?
This probably happened because you had some sugar crystals still on the side of your pan while you were cooking. To avoid this, mix your sugars and water together, warm it a little and put a lid on it for a few minutes. The steam will wash any sugar crystals back into your mixture, then add the rest of your ingredients.
This is the best Carmel ever.

Yes you can! It may be even better with parchment paper. Sending love to you and your amazing chihuahua!
Can we make it without the corn syrup? Is there any substitute for it?
You can use 1 cup of sugar dissolved in 1/4 cup water.
@@TheCarefreeKitchen Will do!! Thank you for the recipe and thank you for replying :)
Delicious....can they be individually wrapped in waxed paper?
Parchment paper would be better. It's stick less.
Do you know if Golden Syrup (refiners syrup from sugar processing) can be substituted for Corn Syrup? It is more easy to get hold of in the UK. Looks 😋
I'm not actually sure what golden syrup is. You could always try it and if it doesn't work quite right you'd have caramel syrup.... 😜
Can i skip the corn syrup please answer me very soon i am excited to try this recipe🤗
The consistency wont be quite the same but it'll be close.
How much regular milk if you don't use sweeten condensed milk???
120°C soft stage...
Sweet video, thank you
Thank you so much!

Either one works!
