Homemade soft caramels have a timeless charm: they smell like sugar, orange zest, and the pleasure of slow cooking. They are simple, genuine, and surprisingly more flavorful than store-bought ones. This version, enriched with fresh cream and orange zest, creates a silky texture and a refined aroma. Pouring the caramel onto marble — just like in traditional confectionery — turns the recipe into a small artisanal ritual: a golden, glossy disk that cools and becomes melt-in-your-mouth candies.
