Method

  1. Lay a sheet of baking parchment on a baking sheet. Put the baking sheet onto a surface that won't burn as the caramel will heat it up considerably.
  2. Tip the sugar into a wide metal saucepan. Don't use a black non-stick pan or you'll find it difficult to gauge the colour of the caramel.
  3. Put the pan over a low heat and wait for the sugar to melt and then start to colour. If it begins to colour too much in one patch, swirl the pan gently to even it out. Ideally all the sugar will have melted before it starts to colour.
  4. Wait until the melted sugar has caramelised to a dark gold before adding the salt crystals and giving the pan a final swirl. Pour rounds of caramel onto the parchment, quickly stick a lolly stick onto each and leave to cool. As soon as they've cooled and set, slide them into cellophane bags and tie them in.

    They should last indefinitely as they are basically just sugar.
