Ingredients

  • 2 c sugar
  • 1/2 t lecithin
  • 1/2 c butter
  • 3/4 c corn syrup
  • 2 c light cream, divided

Preparation

Step 1

In a saucepan, combine sugar, lecithin, butter, corn syrup, and 1c cream. Bring to a rolling boil. Slowly add the remaining cup of cream so boiling does not stop. Reduce heat as the temperature increases. Cook to 250 degrees for a very firm caramel, or a few degrees less for a softer caramel. Pour into a buttered 8inch square pan. Do not scrape the candy out of the bottom.as this may cause the caramels to crystalize. Makes about 48 pieces.
