Creamy Caramels


 It’s nearly Christmas, so I have been busy making Christmas treats for gifts.


I love caramels, so couldn’t resist making caramels for my gift boxes. These are Creamy Caramels were made from a recipe in The Australian Women’s Weekly Sweet. To make these caramels, you will need:

1 cup sugar
90g butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
1/3 cup glucose syrup
1/2 cup condensed milk

Butter a 19cm square cake tin.

Put the butter, sugar, syrups and milk into a large heavy bottomed saucepan. Stir the mixture over the heat, without boiling, until the sugar dissolves.  Bring the mixture to the boil, then boil while stirring constantly for 7 minutes, or until the mixture has turned golden in colour.

Pour the mixture into the buttered cake tin and stand for 10 minutes before marking squares in the caramel with a metal spatula.

Allow the caramels to cool completely before cutting right through into squares and wrapping in cellophane.

These look delicious - I love caramels - I think we tried similar ones last year when fetes were still the thing to do but haven't revisited - would love these in a Christmas stocking!
