CHOCOLATE COVERED CARAMELS - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT

in #photography7 years ago

Okay, I’ve gotta know, it’s getting pretty close to Christmas on the countdown, who’s got their trees up?

We put ours up over weeks ago now and I’m still having so much fun just staring at it everytime I’m around it. It’s the BEST time of year!!!!

This recipe is for the salted caramels that I made for Christmas time. Up until then I had somehow never tried making soft caramels ever. I’ve made so many caramel sauces, and caramel corn, and stuff, but never tried making them solid.

These are life altering guys and that’s why I had to share them. It took me quite a few tries (and maybe a few moments of acute frustration) to get them perfect without the use of corn syrup. I know that dealing with sugar is a little scary for some of you but all it takes is a little patience and practice.

These are actually not long or hard to make and they make the perfect gift to give. Wrap them in a pretty little box with a bow and a note and you’re seriously gonna make someone’s entire day, no, their entire holiday!

They look yummy. I have made caramels a couple of times and you are right, working with molten sugar is scary and you got to get the temp just right. Yum , delicious.

yup, temp is key in candy. People don't realize, but I know you do and thanks so much for the great support @tesscooks4u

Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on my post @healthyfit, I appreciate it

Wow....

Can I have the recipe!?!?!?!?!?!

Hey @american-pie, read the post a little further to see how to get the recipe, if you have the time. Thanks so much for the request and you'll understand after you read my post

Those look so good! My mom made and sold chocolates every year around Christmas when I was a kid. This brings back so many memories of dipping chocolates, trays and trays of them in the freezer, and all of the big batches being mixed and bags of them for days. Lol. Such good, delicious memories.

I am thrilled this was able to bring back some memories, I hope they were all good?

Yep, they were all good. 😊

I try to always avoid corn syrup, however it is in nearly everything you buy at the grocery store. Thanks so much for the great comenting and I hope your travels are going well?

Dan, wow, amazing commenting as always, but this time you were fired up. Your statement "We have everything in the states except the most important thing.....clean food." is so true. I've really noticed a segment of the population since I have been back and it is very sad. It makes my Dad angry. It's all about money, it's a full circle between the food and medical industries. My Dad says it's fascism a.k.a corpratism.

yup, you must go to the next steemfest. I don't know where it will be either, but I'd wager some where in the states.

Yeah, the depression thing is hard to understand really, especially after being in other countries as you say. There is a large amount that just would not survive in other countries. I've been dragged into walmart a couple of time and it is so sad.
