In reply to Jeane. Hi Jeane! I haven't personally tasted it using glucose syrup, but I would think the flavor would be pretty similar. I would use the same amount. :)

In reply to Sam Merritt. If I use glucose syrup will the taste change? Also would I use the same amount of 255g? Thank you!

In reply to Luna. Hi Luna! I'm not sure how maple syrup would work here. You could use glucose syrup. :)

Actually- I tried it yesterday, since I didn’t have evaporated milk, I just used half and half and it worked perfectly!

In reply to Seva. Evaporated milk really is best here! You could try making your own if you can't find any in your local store.

In reply to Samantha. Were there any adjustments you had to make when you doubled the recipe? Thank you.

Made this twice, I upped the final temp to 250 so the carmels were firmer and wrapped easier.
These are delicious!! Everyone loves them!!
This will be my new Christmas gifts😊

In reply to Elizabeth Kristine. Hi Elizabeth! I do use light corn syrup here. I haven't tried an organic version, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work. :)

Question! 🙂 I try to use only organic products and have never used corn syrup in baking before, I found Organic Light Corn Syrup from wholesomes, would that work well in this recipe? I wasn’t sure if the “light” makes a difference.

Love all of your recipes!!!

Amazing flavor, decadent, silky rich, and delicious on its own or inside chocolate

In reply to Ericka. Oh no! Unfortunately I am not sure there is a way to salvage it. :( The caramel will melt the wax paper. :(

I didn’t have parchment paper on hand and use wax paper … please tell me there is a trick to getting it off the paper? It’s been sitting for about 7ish hours.

In reply to Christie Wright. Hi Christie! A good bit of it is going to cook off. I would probably add a splash more at the end. :)

Hi, i’m in the process of making the caramel right now and I accidentally added the vanilla during the beginning cooking stage. How does this affect the outcome versus adding it later like in the recipe instructions?

In reply to Kiana. Hi Kiana! You will want to leave it at room temperature to cool slowly. :)
