Who wants a throat candy? With the cold that is making it normal for us to have cold, flu, or sore throat. So one of these homemade caramelitos will be great for us.
They are not miraculous because they will not cure our illness, although thanks to their natural ingredients, they manage to soften our throat and not itch us so much.
They are made with sugar, cinnamon, ginger, honey and lemon, so you can already imagine that our cough drops are addicted. We can keep them in small cans or a glass jar and they are a gourmet gift that no one will reject.
Throat candy
These candies are like little balsamic pearls that will soothe our sore throat.

Great…
What a good looking !!
The whole sugar to use is brown sugar or panela?
Could they be put to solidify in ice cube molds, and then coated or not coated in icing sugar?
Thank you!
Hello Mercedes:
You can use both although I personally don't trust most of the brown sugar sold in supermarkets. This is why I use whole sugar.
On the other hand, you cannot do without icing sugar because otherwise the caramel will stick to you. And if you use molds remember that you have to sprinkle them before because the same thing will happen to you.
In reality, the amount of sugar that sticks is minimal, especially if at the end you move them well through the sieve.
I hope you cheer up !!
Kisses.
I do them tomorrow
Thanksaaaaaaaaas
Where can you get powdered ginger?
Look for it in the spice section of supermarkets. It is more common than you think. You will also find it in herbal stores and in supermarkets of foreign products.
In the super there must be
Maite, look where the species are, you will surely find them.
Please
I do not understand what is whole sugar? Is it the brunette?
Don't you know how to say it in French?
Thank you
Dime
Can you use brown in case I can't find it in the supermarket?
Hello:
In French they say Sucre de Canne Intégral.
I hope it works!
Kisses.
Hello again Mounia:
If you can't find whole sugar, you can use brown sugar.
Kisses!!
Thank you
I have been a bit soft, if they stick together what will be the cause? Very rich flavor peri. Thank you very much.
Hi!
Sometimes it happens ... the temperature or humidity in the environment also influences.
Try this: put them in a jar, sprinkle some icing sugar, shake and they will be perfect!
Kisses.
I just made them with brown sugar and I have not been a candy, but rather globs. I'm letting them sit for 10 minutes and see what happens.
Hi juani:
When pouring them over the icing sugar, you have to be quick and precise. Keep in mind that when the time is up you will have a liquid mixture but as the seconds go by it will thicken and it will be increasingly difficult. So I recommend having everything ready for, just beep the machine, pour it over the sugar and let it rest.
Kisses!!
The problem is that as soon as I finished, I opened the machine and they were like earthy globs. I made them anyway and have them in a glass jar. They are not pretty like yours, but they are very rich. I think it's because I used brown sugar.
Hello, I have made them and they are great? One question, you can double the amount of ingredients to make more
Hello Maria:
At the moment I have not doubled the quantities because the caramel is very particular. What I do is do 2 batches and that's it!
Kisses!
When I have finished making them I have put them in a glass jar and after a while I have gone to get one and they were almost all waste it looked like a paste, I have let them rest for half an hour in the sugar and then I have put them in the jar, now I have them in the fridge but I think they won't be fixed, what have I done wrong? ?
Hello Maria:
You have to let them sit for a while until the texture becomes harder. And in no case keep them hot.
Sometimes with humidity or temperature the texture changes. Against that we can not do anything, so we can only resign ourselves!
I hope you don't get discouraged and that you try again!
Kisses!
Hello, I have made this recipe and they are soft, they do not finish hardening. What I can do?
all the best
Hello Vanessa:
Mine aren't hard at all, either. I have put them in a glass jar with a little sugar so that they do not stick to each other and they are fantastic. They do not fall apart, they are loose and ready to eat at any time.
Kisses!!
Thanks for your answer, the problem with mine is that they are very very soft, it is as if it were honey, so it is impossible to catch them, I had to throw them away
Hello, I have made them and in principle they were solidifying, after 30min I touched them and they were still soft, I have sprinkled them with glass sugar but nothing… .I left them overnight and in the morning they were melted… .what could have happened ?
