I own a candy thermometer, but only so I can make yogurt -- I've been too afraid to attempt to make candy. But I adore caramel -- when I was pregnant with #1 it was one of the few things that helped me with my morning sickness for some reason. In the grand scheme of things, would you rate this as a good way for someone to enter the candy making end of cooking? I'm always afraid of scalding it or setting it on fire or... well, I don't know what exactly. It just seems more daunting than "regular" cooking. Then again, I guess yogurt making seemed daunting at first (I think I was afraid I'd kill us all somehow with some horrible bacterial infection). Perhaps like all cooking, it's more a matter of being willing to throw it out if you really screw it up? <abbr><em><abbr><em>JavaMoms last blog post..<a href="http://caffeineandaprayer.com/2008/12/06/mmmm-my-secret-hot-chocolate-recipe/" rel="nofollow">Mmmm… My Secret Hot Chocolate Recipe…</a></em></abbr></em></abbr> Ohhhh, this looks so good you are tempting me to consider even trying this.

But you have me thinking of those caramel shards melting in coffee so know I'll probably make these before Christmas. I'm with you on the "favorite" aspect of caramel. I love it.

I'll definitely try making them for Christmas though! I had to laugh reading about you spilling the golden syrup because that sounds exactly like something I would do! Seriously!
