Some believe that caramel’s history dates back more than 1,000 years to 1000 A.D., when the sweet treat was first discovered. It was called the “kuratal milh”, which literally means “sweet ball salt”, at that time.

The original caramel would have been the crispy type that was made from crystallizing sugar in boiling hot water. This is what we call crunchy toffee.

Caramel and other sweets were popular in the Americas’ mid-1600s. People were making hard candies in kettles back then. The caramel candy evolved into a soft and chewy confection that included sugar as well as cream or milk.

Milton S. Hershey founded Lancaster Caramel Company in 1886. He would later go on to create the Hershey Company which is today one of America’s most beloved candy and chocolate companies.

It might be helpful to learn about the history and production of caramel. You only need to heat the sugar to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) in order for caramel to be made. Once the sugar has broken down, it will turn into a delicious substance with a rich golden color and iconic taste.

This is only the beginning of the process. It’s the beginning of a journey to the final destination, what most people refer to as ‘Caramel’. Caramel is the coating of apples and the binder for popcorn. There are so many delicious and creative ways to use Caramel!

There are two ways to make caramel that is truly delicious. The first is to caramelize the sugar, then add the cream and butter. This brings out the delicious flavors that everyone loves. The second involves mixing them all together, and then cooking it until the milk caramelizes, but not the sugar. This type of caramel is called “milk caramel”.
