If there are no molds at hand, then you can use parchment paper or an ordinary wooden stick. Dip the stick in a container with sugar mass, gently wind the caramel and send it under cold water.
There is another way to fry sugar. For this, milk is used instead of water. Put the sugar in a skillet, pour in some milk and simmer. It is important for the milk to boil over. This will create lumpy fried sugar that can be easily broken off.
Sometimes sugar is prepared with the addition of butter or vegetable oil and lemon juice. In this case, it is recommended to use a wooden stick.
Show your imagination, and your guests will definitely not remain indifferent. If you add a small amount of ground nuts to the sugar, you get a homemade sherbet. Or create real caramel masterpieces to decorate your festive table. To do this, pour the sugar syrup prepared with water in a thin stream on parchment paper in the shape of a butterfly, a flower, or just a fancy pattern.
Such a simple dish will always be in place. Use it instead of icing for pastries, decorate a cake with caramel figurines, or make an original filling for homemade candies.
The benefits of fried sugar
Fried sugar is also a surprisingly healthy product. Its benefits have been known for a long time, and its effectiveness has been tested over the years.

After a while, a dry cough will turn into a wet one, attacks will occur less and less, and phlegm will come out. It is best to use fried sugar at the very onset of the disease when the first symptoms appear.
