These caramels were adapted from the infallable Dan Lepard in his book Short and Sweet; a book which will become your bible if you're a baker. <br /> <br />Lemon cuts through the richness of the caramel, thyme lends perfume, and the macadamias add luxury. Perfect to pop in your handbag in case of emergency or to give as gifts. <br /> <br />These little caramels can be jazzed up any way you like - after you’ve made the initial caramel, you can substitute the caster sugar for muscavado, the butter for olive oil, the honey for maple syrup, or anything else you fancy. Once the cooking is done, stir in any flavouring you like, or just keep it simple and plain, if that’s your bag. You can make them in a large tin and cut them into squares, or in mini-muffin tins as I did.
