Caramel lovers unite! April 5th is National Caramel Day, and what better way to celebrate than enjoying some of the yummiest caramel treats? Which is exactly why we have gathered up 5 caramel candies for national caramel day!
Of course, you can celebrate by enjoying some of your own favorite caramel goodies, but why not branch out and try something new?
Everyone knows caramel is delicious, but just how is it made? Let’s talk about it!
How is caramel made?
Caramel is actually really simple to make, and can be made at home easily. The only ingredients you will need are:
- Sugar
- Butter
- Cream
- Salt
You start by adding sugar to a pan, and heating it slowly until it starts to melt. It is easy to burn, so it is crucial to continue stirring until it is completely dissolved!
Once melted, add in the butter and stir up a storm! If it begins to bubble you are on the right track. After stirring in the butter entirely, add in the cream and salt and continue to mix. Give it a taste, and allow the mixture to cool. Voila, you have homemade caramel!
Now, on to the treats
Milk Chocolate Caramels
This is easily one of the most classic ways to enjoy caramel! Milk Chocolate Caramels are a simple treat that features both caramel
and milk chocolate in a way that neither are overpowering. Rather, you get to enjoy a bit of both.
A serving size comes to a total of 30g for only 140 calories. They have 0g of trans fat, as well. So enjoy these without having to worry about anything but being forced to share!
