Recipes FAQ:

Can I make this recipe without corn syrup?

Yes, you can substitute honey or maple syrup for the corn syrup.

Can I double the recipe?

Recipe Tips:

  • Make sure to stir the caramel mixture constantly while it's boiling, or it may burn.
  • Use a wooden spoon to stir the caramel mixture, as a metal spoon can affect the flavor.
