From Wikipedia

Caramel (pronounced /ˈkærəmɛl/ or /ˈkɑrməl/) is a beige to dark brown confection made by heating any of a variety of sugars. It is used as a flavor in puddings and desserts, a filling in candies and chocolates, and a topping for ice cream and custards.

The process of caramelization consists of heating sugar slowly to around 170 °C (340 °F).
