No candy thermometer, used the water drop method but again as a first timer I was very unsure what I was looking for. Pretty sure they are not done enough.

It doesn't really matter what caramel recipe you would use if they are hard they got too hot. Maybe the thermometer was not submerged fully in the caramels, or did you take the thermometer out and put it back in a few times? <br />I'm not an expert but I also wonder if the caramels were cooked to fast instead of on med heat? <br />Deshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991474426041571373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911615988285322166.post-80827629843796291512013-02-03T21:08:57.990-08:002013-02-03T21:08:57.990-08:00No, they wont turn darker as the cool, The longer ...No, they wont turn darker as the cool, The longer the cook the darker the turn and the more harder they will also be.

BOO!!! i'm sorry they turned out hard....Alyssa! BOO!!! i'm sorry they turned out hard. so I have been thinking about this all morning. My best idea is that your thermometer is not giving you the accurate temperature. They were cooked too long, got too hot. You could make them again and as soon as your caramel starts turning the golden caramel color starting using the soft ball test. Take a cold glass of water and drop in a drop of caramel. you can then pull it out and mush it around...if its too mushy let it cook a little longer, and keep doing it till its a nice firm soft :) <br />You caramel can also turn crunchy if you scrape the sides or put take the spoon and thermometer in and out without cleaning it off. but i think that is more of a crunch and not a hard like you are talking about. If I were you I'd either make them again using the thermometer and the cup of water (so you can cross check), or just get a new thermometer. and maybe turn the heat down.
