Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Cut into pieces for easy melting
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream Use whole cream for best results
  • 1/2 cup Halal-friendly cinnamon-flavored syrup Can substitute for Fireball whiskey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and heavy cream. Stir until fully mixed.
Cooking
  1. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
  2. Once the caramel begins to thicken (about 8-10 minutes), carefully stir in the Halal-friendly cinnamon-flavored syrup and salt.
  3. The caramel is ready when it reaches a temperature of 240°F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
  4. Quickly pour the hot caramel mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if needed.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Allow the caramel to cool at room temperature for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  2. Once set, lift the caramel out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut it into bite-sized squares.
  3. Wrapping them in parchment paper adds a nice touch for gifting!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks. Can refrigerate or freeze, separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking.
