caramelized sugar
Amber molten sweetness
Caramelized sugar is sugar that has been heated until it melts, browns, and develops a rich, nutty flavor.
The process transforms ordinary white sugar into an amber liquid used for sauces, candy, and dessert toppings: The crème brûlée had a perfect layer of caramelized sugar on top.
The term also describes the sticky golden coating on roasted vegetables or meats where natural sugars have browned.
