Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Add the cream, sugar, syrup, and vanilla sugar, and let it simmer uncovered for 15 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Perform the “water drop test”: a single drop of water in cold water should form a soft, round ball. ≈ 10 min
  4. Add the chosen flavor, such as cocoa, or leave it plain. ≈ 3 min
  5. Pour une cuisson uniforme, place the mixture on a lightly oiled baking sheet and let it cool.
  6. Cut into pieces with scissors, wrap them in parchment paper, and store them in the refrigerator.
