Did you know?

Caramel is made by heating sugar slowly to around 170°C (338°F).
The word “caramel” likely comes from the Latin “cannamellis”, meaning “sugar cane.”
Salted caramel, a modern twist, became a global hit in the early 2000s.
Caramel can be soft, chewy, or hard depending on how long it’s cooked and what ingredients are used.
