Items needed to answer the question, How do I make Crystal Caramel Candies. Items include: Sugar Water Corn Syrup Unsalted Butter Heavy Cream

Sugar 1 cup
Water 1/4 cup
Corn Syrup 2 tablespoons
Unsalted Butter 1/4 cup

Take note
Be careful while working with hot caramel to avoid burns. It's always a good idea to have an adult supervise if you're doing this with kids.

1

Prepare the Caramel Mixture

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of corn syrup. Give it a quick stir to mix everything together.

2

Cook the Caramel

Place the saucepan over medium heat and let the mixture come to a boil. Allow it to boil without stirring until it turns a golden amber color, usually around 8-10 minutes.

3

Add the Butter and Cream

Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully add 1/4 cup of unsalted butter and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Be cautious as it might sizzle and bubble up. Stir until the butter is completely melted and incorporated into the caramel.

4

Cool and Shape the Candies

Pour the hot caramel mixture into a shallow greased dish and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Once it's cool enough to touch but still pliable, use a greased knife or cookie cutter to cut out your desired shapes. Place the candies on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set completely.

5

Add Sugar Coating

To give your Crystal Caramel Candies their beautiful sparkle, roll each candy in a bowl of sugar until coated. You can use regular granulated sugar or if you have colored sugar crystals, they'll make your candies shine even more!
