Caramel Lollipops Recipes

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, white sugar, butter, corn syrup, cream, milk and vanilla in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, to 250 to 265 degrees F (121 to 129 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball. Pour into an 8x8 inch pan. Let cool before cutting.

Steps:

• Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. Lightly spray 10 lollipop molds with cooking spray and, if using skewers, cut off pointed ends with scissors. Put lollipop sticks or skewers in molds. Alternatively, if not using molds, lightly spray a sheet of parchment paper with cooking spray and have ready 10 lollipop sticks or skewers.
• In a heavy saucepan bring 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/3 cup corn syrup, and 1/8 teaspoon flavored oil to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup, without stirring, washing down sugar crystals clinging to side of pan with a brush dipped in cold water, until syrup is pale golden. Continue to cook syrup, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally, until golden.
• Remove pan from heat and dip bottom of pan into ice water to stop caramel from cooking further (water will hiss and splatter). Spoon caramel into 10 molds. (If caramel in pan becomes too hard, heat over low heat, without stirring, until spoonable.) If using jellied candies, work quickly to decorate; if using chocolates, cool lollipops about 5 minutes before decorating. Alternatively, spoon caramel onto parchment to make 10 lollipops. Decorate lollipops in same manner and firmly press 1 end of a lollipop stick or skewer onto each. Cool lollipops completely, about 30 minutes, and remove from molds or parchment. Make 10 more lollipops in same manner. (Lollipops keep, layered between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container at cool room temperature, 2 weeks.)

Steps:

• Lightly brush bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with oil. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides; lightly brush parchment with oil.
• Bring cream, sugar, butter, and corn syrup to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until caramel reaches 248 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 15 minutes.
• Immediately remove caramel from heat, and stir in salt and vanilla. Pour caramel onto baking sheet, and let stand, uncovered, at room temperature at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.
• Lifting by parchment overhang, transfer caramel to a large cutting board. Cut into 3/4-by-1 1/4-inch pieces; wrap each piece in waxed paper or cellophane.

Steps:

• Line an 8-in. square pan with foil; grease the foil with 1 teaspoon butter and set aside., In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and remaining butter; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil slowly for 4 minutes without stirring., Remove from the heat; stir in milk. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until a candy thermometer reads 238° (soft-ball stage), stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla., Pour into prepared pan (do not scrape saucepan). Cool. Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Discard foil; cut candy into 1-in. squares. Wrap individually in waxed paper; twist ends.

Steps:

• Grease a 12x15 inch pan.
• In a medium-size pot, combine sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, whipping cream, and butter. Monitor the heat of the mixture with a candy thermometer while stirring. When the thermometer reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) remove the pot from the heat.
• Stir in vanilla. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and let the mixture cool completely. When cooled cut the Carmel into small squares and wrap them in wax paper for storage.
