Wet caramel is made by combining sugar and a liquid and then cooking them together, while dry caramel is made from just sugar, heated in a dry pan until it liquefies and browns. This technique is the easiest way to make a caramel in this product and it can be used immediately whilst hot for assembling a croquembouche, or for making decorations such as cages, spirals or spun sugar, however you need to work quickly as the caramel will set hard as it cools. Alternatively use our Caramel Sauce recipe, which has cream and butter added, resulting in a soft set caramel which can be poured on top of puddings or ice cream.
