Caramel candy is a type of candy that is made by cooking sugar and butter (or cream) together until it turns into a thick, sticky substance. This is called caramelization.
Imagine if you were making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. You take two slices of bread and spread peanut butter on one slice and jelly on the other. When you put the two slices together, the peanut butter and jelly stick together to make a sandwich. Caramelization is kind of like that, but with sugar and butter instead of peanut butter and jelly.
Once the sugar and butter have caramelized, it can be poured into a mold to shape it into different kinds of candy. Some caramel candies are soft and chewy, like a caramel chew. Other caramel candies are hard and crunchy, like a caramel lollipop.
Caramel candy can come in many different flavors. Some have a vanilla or butterscotch flavor, while others have a more intense caramel flavor. Some caramel candies are also covered in chocolate or nuts for an extra sweet and crunchy taste.
It's important to remember that caramel candy is a treat and should not be eaten in large amounts. But, if you want to satisfy your sweet tooth, a caramel candy is a delicious way to do it!
