I have never heard of white syrup…just went to Amazon and all they seem to have a syrups flavored for coffee….they don’t currently have the one in your picture. Any suggestions? Regular syrup?
Thanks so much!

This recipe is amazing. Perfect as written. Using candy thermometer was helpful. Will never use another recipe again.

A+ Made these over the weekend. Very good, nice and easy. I found that as the caramel cooled, the last few apples were coated too thickly, so after rolling them and decorating them the puddle at the bottom grew and grew. My decorations slowly slide down over the next 4-6 hours. A break to warm up the caramel then finish the last few would do the trick. And a break would be nice about then. Took them to a fall neighborhood gathering and they were a hit. A+

I tried them and the caramel is just to hard. Did I leave it in the heat to long?

Oh and by the way…you can use the caramel to wrap as individual candy! So good!

First time making caramel! It worked well, it just takes a long time and a lot of stirring to get it a nice smooth caramel color. Tasted way better than store bought! I’m definitely using this recipe again.
