Tips:
- For a smoother caramel, use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar reaches the correct temperature.
- Make sure the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the caramel mixture; otherwise, it won't puff up properly.
- Don't overcook the caramel; otherwise, it will become too hard.
- Work quickly when pouring the caramel mixture onto the baking sheet; it will start to set quickly.
- Don't stir the caramel mixture after adding the baking soda; otherwise, it won't puff up.
- Let the caramel cool completely before breaking it into pieces; otherwise, it will be too sticky.
- Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
