  • Step 2: In a 5-quart saucepan combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1 cup cream; bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. When the mixture is at a boil slowly add in remaining 1 cup cream stirring constantly when adding. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reaches 250 degrees (hard ball stage) stirring frequently.

  • Step 4: Remove the foil from the pan lifting the overhang edges, then remove the foil from the caramal slab. Cut into 1-inch squares, then wrap individually in waxed paper and twist the ends.
