How To Make soft chocolate caramels

  • Step 1
    Cook together in a copper pan (or a pan not lined with tin) until the mixture reaches the \'ball\' stage.
  • Step 2
    To test the stage of the cooking by finger, dip the thumb and index finger into cold water, then into the mixture, bringing the 2 fingers together and dipping them again into water.
  • Step 3
    This should be done quickly to avoid burning.
  • Step 4
    The mixture forms a small ball that can be rolled with the tip of the fingers.
  • Step 5
    Or use a candy thermometer measuring the soft ball stage of 240 degrees.
  • Step 6
    Pour this cooked sugar onto an oiled marble slab, keeping it at an even thickness of 2/3 inch, using 4 oiled rulers to make a framework.
  • Step 7
    Let cool and cut.
