Each homemade caramel should be individually wrapped, whether you’ll be keeping them around the house or giving them as gifts. It helps to keep them from drying out and prevent them from sticking together.
To do this, cut wax paper into small pieces, place a caramel in the center, roll it up, and twist the ends to seal.
You can also buy pre-cut pieces of wax paper if you want to cut down on some prep or make sure that each one is cut perfectly straight.
Store at room temperature for 6 to 9 months, though be sure to keep them out of sun and away from moisture. If preferred, you can also store them in the fridge for the same time period.
Can I Freeze Caramel Candy?
Yes, this homemade caramel does freeze well. Individually wrap them as usual, then place in another freezer safe container. Freeze for up to one year. Thaw on the counter and enjoy.
