Caramel

Caramel is a type of candy or flavor created by gently heating sugar until it melts and turns a rich, golden-brown color. This process, called caramelization, develops complex flavors ranging from sweet to slightly nutty or toasted. Caramel can be used as a standalone treat, a sauce, or an ingredient in desserts like candies, puddings, and ice creams. Its distinctive taste and smooth, sticky texture make it a popular addition to many confections and baked goods. The key is carefully controlling the heat to prevent burning and achieve the desired flavor profile.
