Add milk and fat to a sugar syrup that has been simmered and continuously stirred until it reaches a light brown color. Caramels are made by adding milk and fat to a sugary syrup that has been simmered and continuously stirred until it reaches a light brown color. American women made candies using caramelized sugar and water as early as the seventeenth century.. Since it was an inexpensive candy to produce, it found its way into many dishes. Somebody around the year 1850s, someone discovered that adding milk and a fat product to the cooked sugar mixture resulted in a soft, chewy candy. It should come as no surprise how quickly soft caramel became popular.

Bakers and pastry chefs use caramel to make a variety of desserts, whether as a main ingredient, flavoring, or topping. Depending on the consistency, it can be used as a syrup or as the glue holding together nuts and popcorn. The candy makes great caramel apples in a more pliant form.. The caramel can become brittle if cooked to a higher temperature, and is ideal for just that kind of candy making.

The longer caramel cooks, it takes on a deeper hue and a darker flavor until the sugar becomes bitter and is no longer palatable.
