    Recipe Introduction


    yield: Makes about 40 candies

    active time: 45 min

    total time: 2 3/4 hr (includes cooling)


    List of Ingredients




    1 cup heavy cream
    5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
    1 teaspoon fleur de sel*
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    1/4 cup light corn syrup
    1/4 cup water

    Recipe



    Line bottom and sides of an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, then lightly oil parchment.

    Bring cream, butter, and fleur de sel to a boil in a small saucepan, then remove from heat and set aside.

    Boil sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil, without stirring but gently swirling pan, until mixture is a light golden caramel.

    Carefully stir in cream mixture (mixture will bubble up) and simmer, stirring frequently, until caramel registers 248°F on thermometer, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour into baking pan and cool 2 hours. Cut into 1-inch pieces, then wrap each piece in a 4-inch square of wax paper, twisting 2 ends to close.
