Comment préparer Homemade Caramels

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Gradually whisk in the remaining 1 cup heavy cream.
Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to stir frequently as the mixture begins to thicken.
Increase stirring to constantly as the mixture darkens in color and thickens further.
Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the caramel reaches 254°F (123°C) on a candy thermometer. This will take approximately 60-70 minutes.
Quickly pour the caramel into a buttered 9x13 inch baking pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or your favorite) evenly over the top.
Refrigerate until the caramels begin to set but are still slightly soft. This prevents them from becoming too hard.
Once completely cool, cut into squares.
Wrap individual caramels in plastic wrap for easy storage and gifting.
