Caramel candy is a traditional dessert that has accompanied many Latin American cultures throughout time. In different countries of the region, this sweet can vary in name and presentation. For example, in Mexico it is known as "cajeta" when made with goat's milk, while in Argentina "dulce de leche" is common, which, although not exactly caramel, shares that creamy and sweet texture. In countries like Colombia and Venezuela, this type of candy is enjoyed in multiple homemade versions that combine caramel with fruits or nuts. The recipe we present here is a special version, ribbon fantasy caramel, which is characterized by its combination of flavors and textures, offering a unique experience for sweet lovers.
This caramel is not only delicious, but it also reflects the creativity and diversity of Latin American cuisine by fusing classic ingredients like sugar and butter with others like marshmallow cream and peanut butter, resulting in a dessert enjoyed at family gatherings and special celebrations. Its origin can be traced back to homemade recipes that grandmothers used to prepare, adapting the traditional sweet with new elements to surprise new generations.
