Caramel

n. soft candy (made from sugar, butter and milk); burnt sugar used for coloring and flavoring food

Caramel (, also in some U.S. regions) is a confection that is beige to dark brown in color, derived from the caramelization of sugar. Caramel is used to flavor puddings, desserts and beverages, such as Coca-Cola. Caramel is also used as a food colorant. On labels, it is called E150.Caramel is made by heating sugar slowly to around 170°C/340°F. As the sugar melts and approaches this temperature, the molecules break down into volatile compounds with a characteristic caramel color and flavor. A variety of candies, confections, and desserts are made with caramel: caramel apples, barley sugar, caramel with nuts (such as praline, nougat, or brittle), and caramel with custard (such as crème caramel or crème brûlée).
