It is Wednesday, so it’s time for a Moooseum Ice Cream Fact of the Week!

Let’s talk about Caramel! At its base, caramel is just sugar that has been heated and cooked at a certain temperature. Depending on the temperature, it can be a sauce, a soft candy, or a hard candy.

Of course, other flavors can be added. Vanilla is often used, but usually after the caramel has started to cool, since very hot sugar can boil off or burn the vanilla. And salted caramel is a fairly big thing these days!

Do you like caramel? Have you ever tried to make it? Let us know!
