Making candy is kind of a lost art. Dealing with screaming hot sugar, giant kettles, and finicky techniques just isn’t that appealing. While buying candy is easy enough, artisan products cost a small fortune, and run-of-the-mill selections at the supermarket leave a lot to be desired. Thankfully, these 5 recipes show you how to make some killer sweets that are also super easy. With a little patience and a handful of basic ingredients, these homemade candies will reward you with sweet success.
Traditional soft caramels are so delicious but such a pain to make. You have to stir a huge pot for what seems like an eternity while constantly watching a candy thermometer.
