For the dessert, today: fill the poufs, make caramel, and assemble. How hard can it be?

Filling poufs with custards. Fun watching some of them expand.

Boiling sugar and water for caramel. I like bubbles. |

Yup, that makes caramel. Hot and cools quickly. |

Assembly. Easier than I thought. Water bottle was a helpful support! |
Et... Voila!

Blobs of caramel and caramel "threads." YAY! |
It's not perfect, or magazine-worthy, but for my first attempt, i think it's rather charming. I'm proud of myself and hope it's a hit! Pretty easy to make, just time consuming. If you can boil and stir, and have lots of eggs and butter, you can easily make this!
Happy Xmas!
Cheers-
