Recipe makes about 40 small candies
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 5 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, cut into pieces
- 1 Teaspoon of Sea Salt*
- Special equipment: parchment paper; candy thermometer
Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, then lightly oil parchment.
Bring cream, butter and salt to a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from heat and set aside.
Boil sugar, corn syrup and water in a 3 to 4-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil, without stirring but gently swirling pan, until mixture is a light golden caramel.
Carefully stir in cream mixture (mixture will bubble up). Allow mixture to simmer, stirring frequently, until caramel registers 248°F on thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into baking pan and cool 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch pieces, then wrap each piece in a 4-inch square of wax paper, twisting 2 ends to close.
*Note: You could also use Himalayan Pink Salt or Fleur de Sel. You may also want some extra salt to sprinkle on top, do this after it has cooled slightly.
