When do I slice the candy?

You should slice the candy when it has cooled down or set completely. Don't cut it when it's still warm and potentially melty.

Top Answerer

Yes, you'll need a candy thermometer to be able to make candies, including caramels, so you can test the temperature easily and accurately. These thermometers are inexpensive and can be found at kitchenware stores or suppliers, or purchased online.
