The recipe actually said to boil until 124 degrees Celsius but mine never got higher than 107 degrees. Using a thermometer helps but it works without one too!

Add the cream. Boil heavily for about 15 minutes. To see if it is ready, put some of the caramel on a spoon and dip it in cold water. If it's moldable it is done! Pour into a container.

Sprinkle the crushed mint candies on top of the caramel. Let it cool (that's usually the hard part) and then cut in preferred bite sizes.
