PRESENTATION
If you're craving a classic English soft caramel candy, you’ve gotta try caramelle mou. These little gems, known as toffee in England, are perfect tender bites that just melt in your mouth. Really, they do. Their charm? It’s all about that rich mix of sugar, cream, and a generous helping of butter. You know, the kind that gives them that moist, buttery texture we all love. And look, adding milk chocolate gives these candies an extra layer of depth—something special that really sets them apart from everyday sweets. Wrapped in clear paper, they shine with a golden glow, looking cheerful and inviting in any bowl.
These chewy caramel candies aren’t just for snacking. Oh no. They pair wonderfully with other sweets like praline almonds or fancy chocolates. Perfect for creating a welcoming vibe, whether it’s a home event or just a regular day. Seriously, can’t go wrong.
Making these at home is more than just following an easy caramel recipe; it’s about crafting something special for any occasion. And the thing is, there’s a reason homemade caramel recipes never go out of style—people just can’t resist that soft, chewy pull. In England, toffee has a rich history. Caramelle mou fits right in, with a buttery twist that keeps them from being just another crunchy candy. Pretty much.
The combination of caramel candy ingredients makes a treat that can really enhance a dessert platter or add coziness to a regular afternoon. People love how these sweets bring a touch of celebration to everyday life—whether hosting a crowd or enjoying a quiet day at home. With a flavor this rich and a texture this tender, it’s no wonder they’re a staple from parties to after-dinner snacks. That’s the magic of a well-made batch of traditional caramel candies—they’re always a hit, no matter how you serve them. For real.

How to prepare Toffee candies
To make the toffee candies, chop the milk chocolate 1, then in a non-stick saucepan, pour the glucose 2 and the sugar 3, turn on the heat, and stir gently.
When the mixture reaches a boil, pour in the cream 4 and start mixing with a hand whisk 5. With the help of a kitchen thermometer, check that the temperature of the mixture reaches 244°F 6.
Once the mixture has reached the necessary temperature, add the previously chopped milk chocolate 7 and the butter 8. With the hand whisk, thoroughly mix all the ingredients to obtain a homogeneous and smooth mixture 9.
Place 3 square pastry rings 3x3 inches on a tray lined with parchment paper (or baking paper) and fill each with the mixture, using a ladle 10. At this point, place the tray in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 hours, so the mixture solidifies. After this time, transfer the toffee molds to a cutting board 11 and gently remove the mold. Cut the mixture first into lozenges 12,
then make squares that weigh about 0.35 oz each 13. After wrapping them individually with parchment paper 14, the toffee candies will be ready to be enjoyed 15
