- Candy thermometer (optional, for checking hard crack stage)
- Wet pastry brush (to prevent crystallization)
- Spoon or spatula (for stirring the mixture)
- Heat-resistant gloves or oven mitts (for handling hot caramel)
- Glass of ice-cold water (for testing the caramel stage)

- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup liquid glucose/light corn syrup

- Set over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring.
- Wash down the sides of the pan with a wet brush to prevent crystallization.
