How to make Chewy Salted Caramels | Cupcake Jemma 

For all the people asking, if they have to use the golden syrup: I made them the evening before yesterday and let them set overnight and I used rice syrup. Actually, I even used rice syrup from two different brands, because I didn’t have enough left in the one that was already open. And they turned out PERFECTLY! They are so easy to make, they taste great and the consistency is just perfect! The few people that have already tried them, loved them! I let them set in a pan that I lined with aluminium foil and then put some baking paper on top (two sheets overlapping at a 90 degree angle) and without greasing it, it came off really easily of the caramel. Also, cutting it wasn’t nearly as painful as I imagined - just keep the knife oiled. And that oil doesn’t leave an oily residue on the cut caramels, if you’re worried about that. Honestly, you should really try making them, if you’ve got a candy thermometer, because they’re REALLY easy to make and very delicious! Also, I made only half the recipe and got a 1 Liter jar’s amount of candy. Just so you know, how much you’re getting out of the recipe. Oh, and I only put a pinch of salt in, because I don’t like salted sweet stuff. So, I can’t tell you, how the ration tastes, but I’m sure it’s delicious. Good luck! :)

Tried this recipe, turn out really nice! Mine was hard as yours when i chill them first. If i put it too long in room temperature it started to soften

Done this caramel recipe so many times, ppl love it... Give it away to store clerks in my fav shops, friends and family... I decided to try it out with a twist this time, so I added 100 g of dark chocolate to the mix, after I added the butter... It's pretty amazing :D

i cry evrytime i watch jemma's videos coz its just too good and i cant recreate it as perfect as hers

These caramels are so good! I'm making them for my third time in a month now! Love this recipe, how easy and how well explained it is :)

They look simple and awesome to make, thanks for sharing!

I tried making these and they turned out amazing!! Dipped them in dark chocolate and sprinkled sea salt on top. Delish :)

Last time I tried making this recipe my caramel was very sloppy because of my terrible quality, broken candy thermometer and it broke in the process! Today I bought a new one and now my caramels are amazing! Recommended recipe 10/5 stars!! Thanks Jemma

I've spent much time on youtube looking at recipes for traditional salt caramel fudge and Christmas Crack...the holiday sweets I grew up with. Thank you, Jemma for a traditionally sweet Christmas!

I just found a nice way to line tin, with non-stick parchment paper. You must wet it before putting in the tin. It will be easy mold it to the tin. After a few minutes it will be dry and ready to use. It really works!

omg everything you make looks amazing. you make it look so easy.

Hi Jemma! I made this yesterday and it came out perfectly!!! I did quite a few things differently so let me tell you. I intended to make your full recipe when I started but I found that I only had 1cup of corn syrup so I shrunk the recipe down to 2/3 of yours. I also changed a few of the qualities 1 stick of butter(1/2 cup) 1 1/4 of heavy whipping cream 1 1/4 sugar 2/3 tsp salt (plus more sea salt on top) My candy thermometer also is not calibrated so it is off by about 25°C so I thought I would just go up 25° higher than what you said but I ended up just looking at it for reference kind of and it came out greasy looking but then once it solidified it was perfection!!!!! The wrapping up was easy and so much fun. Mine also came out more chewy than yours and I was able to form them into the shape of tootsie rolls lol. Over all this recipe is amazing than you so much for sharing!!!

I think I blinked and you're now at 800k!! Well done!! Love your videos Jemma I'd love to come and visit the shop and buy some of your creations! I will definitely swing by next time I'm in London.

I love watching ur videos u make everything u do look sooooo easy 😊

You are amazing Jemma, I just love you recipes.. I will try this one and I know they will love it..!! thanks and keep making videos as my cookbook is almost full.

I made this yesterday, quite concerned about not getting them right after reading so many failure comments to be honest. My hometown is Madrid, centre. They turned out beautifully!! I discovered my candy termomether was reaching only 98ºC when water was already boiling, so I removed 2ºC from the temperatures she gave us. I will try to make caramel cookies now!! :D

Chewy caramels are just my favorite!!! Looks absolutely delicious!

Thank You Jemma, they look fabulous.

you are so amazing...your personality is so bubbly as well. could watch your videos for hours. thank you for sharing the recipes with us

Recipe turned out great : ) caramels were super chewy and had an excellent flavor. There are some comments saying the temperatures are wrong and need to be lowered. That is not the case; just make sure you don't turn your stove too high and keep it low or low-medium at all times so your sugar doesn't burn.

Made these twice now and they came out absolutely delicious and perfect both times! Literally addicted to eating to them :p Thanks for such an amazingly simple yet awesome recipe - your recipes are always fool-proof and the result is undoubtedly rewarding each time! :D

Gonna try this right now! Thanks for the recipe!!

I can't wait to try this one!! Looks yummy!!

You are a star. I can't believe the creativity here. Keep it up Jemma :)

I made it today and gave it away in tiny little christmas boxes for my neighborhood and everyone said it was delicious and so thoughtful.

Isn't that music Miranda Sings 'Where My Baes At?'

Hello!!! I did these caramels with condense milk, sugar, glucose and butter. I love it! but i will try with this one. Love from Venezuela!

Those look so good I need to make these tomorrow thanks!

Love your videos! I tried some of your recipes and I love them, so delicious. Will you please do a video on how to make fudge if you haven't already?

you should do a colab with Gemma from bigger bolder baking lol

Your instructions are spot on! Many thanks for all the tips for these this challenging recipe. Just like Mom made, only better!

omgggg! these look absolutely wonderful 👌

hi @cupcakejemma how to store these? do they keep at RT or have to be refrigerated?

omg I am absolutely addicted to your videos!!!!!!!

I went to the UK recently and I quite fall in the love with the fudge over there!! It has wonderful flavours and texture and melts in your mouth…!! Can you please teach how to make your version of fudge??

I LOVE making homemade caramels! It's sooo yummy!

OMG made these last week and they are seriously good. I had to make a second batch they were so popular. I know some others have had problems and questioned the temperatures but I had no such problems.

lets get Jemma to a million

I usually don’t bother commenting on videos, but oh boy! The caramels turned out epic! Followed the recipe to the T and its absolutely delicious! No more Werthers! Thank you for nailing this!

Watching this while fasting and now I am starving lol😂

Cannot wait to try this! 😍

I think cupcake Gemma is ace! All recipes are awesome

I made these today X they are amazing

You guys are not born on earth - May be Jupiter . How can a person be such talented cook ? Awesome. !

Omg it was the best recipe and we absolutely loved 🥰 it

Fantastic, "or just keep them in my cupboard", too funny. Wish I could send some to you after I make them.

oohh what a yummy salted caramel i love watching this video everyday

I can’t wait to try this!

I am totaly going to visit your bakery in SoHo. Thank you so much for inspiring me to have enough confidence to want to open a bakery!

Looks wonderful. And I love listening to you talk.

TY & to think I always thought that it was made with brown suger...Great recipe I'll definitely try it! 😊

I really wanna try this recipe out they look amazing 😍 how long can they be fresh for ?

Hello, awesome recipe! Do you have a good nougat recipe? Thanks

I made these last night and followed the recipe to the "T" but my caramel did not set, even overnight so I had to decant it into a jar .... mind you, it tastes absolutely incredible :-) ...... I will of course be trying to make these again.

I really enjoy your videos... Such a treat to watch, your humor is spot on 😂. Love the name too, it's also my daughters 🙂. Thanks for always great recipes and tips! 🙏

Mmmm that looks soooo good!!

That looks amazing

@cupcakejemma, I absolutely love the desserts you make! I have made a few of them myself. Is it possible for you to make a strawberry, chocolate and vanilla sponge cake, and decorate it because I would really love to make one for my birthday.

So by the end of the video I was wondering about the cherry, so I looked again to the title, and boom, It said chewy not cherry! Damn. I need glasses...

brilliant recipe. Im gonna try it at the restaurant this week!!!

I love your inks !!

that is just gorgeous!

They look amazing but I can feel my fillings coming out at the thought!!

Hi, jemma. Thank you for this awesome tutorial I was wondering. Can I add roasted nut in here just for extra flavour? Will the caramel make the nut lost the texture, or will the nut stay crisp? Thank you

Hi Jemma love your vid. Can I use greaseproof paper as a liner for the tin instead of tin foil. I don’t use tin foil. Thanks Kay

I made this recipe and they are so tasty. The caramel is pretty soft but does keep it's shape. If you put them in the fridge, they don't go rock hard, they still keep a lot of their softness. They melt in your mouth. These were definitely a big hit with my family. I think next time I will cover some in tempered chocolate. Great recipe. Thanks Gemma. Lee xx

can you make a video about cake pops. love your channel. it's been a great inspiration.

I loved it!

Going to try these😋

thankss you are such a professional and you are so cutee

omg you're so cool and I also love caramel so this can help me!!!

love it!

I've just made this caramels and realized that the first time you have to heat it up i did it on Fahrenheit but after add the cream we boiled to 120C its now setting in the freezer and is getting really thick! so fingers crossed! btw I love your videos Jemma

Hi Jemma, thanks for awesome inspiration for sweaty gift. What do you think about use honey instead of (golden syrup or liquid glucose) ? Thank you :)

I like your sense of humor

I can allmost taste it i would love to make this for my mum she loves salted caramel and i think it really makes a differece what type of salt you use aswell to really be able to taste it.

@CupcakeJemma Hi, Could you leave out the salt or does it have to be included. Great video by the way. I'm hungry just by watching it.

Made these today. So good. Going to make more tomorrow and maybe add chocolate.

I really Love caramel aswell! I want to make it when I'm older I'm only 9

just made it cant wait for it to cool to try it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great caramel, thanks for sharing! One question: for how long it lasts after wrapped in the greaseproof paper?

Hiya Jemma! I made your salted caramel recipe last night and it turned out perfect. Was wondering if I can reheat that caramel sauce and add butter to make this recipe. Is it too late for that?

Do you have to have a sugar thermometer if you want to make these? I would love to try make it but we don't have a sugar thermometer xx

Hi Jemma , how long will these last & what the best way to store them once made & wrapped?

Hello our kitchen goddess haha. Loved this recipe, looks so yummy. I looooooove chewy caramel 🤤😍🍬. Can you please make a video recipe about the golden syrup? Please please?! 🙏🏻

Thank you, Jemma! My absolute favorite flavor is salted caramel! ❤❤❤

I've made this caramel just yesterday, the consistency appeared to be exactly as I would imagine it, but sugar burned at some point and the taste was bitter, though I was using a candy thermometer following the specified temperatures. What could go wrong?

I made this recipe twice. The first time it came out like hard candy. I was so disappointed. I went into the fridge to make it again and discovered I forgot to add the butter! Second time they were CHEWY PERFECTION! I used corn syrup in mine. If you follow the directions and measurements EXACTLY, THIS IS AMAZINGLY EASY. I have never weighed liquids before - but this is critical. My butter initially separated when I added it. Just keep stirring and it does incorporate. I used non-stick foil with vegetable oil and nothing stuck. I also used waxed paper.

That looks soo gorgeous! You're always awesome, Jemma!

@cupcakejemma could you substitute the golden syrup with black treacle to make treacle toffees?

I make caramels and they’re perfect for a couple days then they turn like a texture of fudge or it just crumbles… is it crystallizing or am I not storing it properly or what’s happening.

Am I the only one who misses the old kitchen, watched some older videos and it hit me right in the feels

keep it up i am a big fan of you and always will you inspire me :)

I love your videos!!!!

I love your videos so much

Hello Jemma, it looks yummy, I wanted to know is golden syrup same as corn syrup ?

I love caramels!!...will surely try this!...😍 Btw wuld it possible for u to make a video on liquor chocolates??...i hv seen a couple of videos on it, but sme hw whn i try my hand on the same, the liquor liquid inside crystallizes...

Hello Jemma!! I'm a big fan of your channel. Can you make any recipes with cane syrup? I need some idea from you. Thank you and love you so much

thanks i really wanted to know how to make that

Hello Jemma! How long does it last? Is necessary to keep inside a hermetic pot? Thank you,!
