Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh fruits and vegetables will give your caramel snappers the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the caramel: The caramel should be cooked until it reaches a light amber color. If you overcook it, it will become too hard and brittle.
  • Be careful when adding the caramel to the snappers: The caramel is very hot, so be careful not to burn yourself. Add the caramel to the snappers slowly and carefully.
  • Let the caramel snappers cool completely before serving: The caramel will harden as it cools, so be sure to let the snappers cool completely before serving them.
