This is really a video all about the lines we draw around what's too much and what's not enough. I would happily buy store-bought profiteroles and still make my own caramel (in fact, the croquembouche will look far more impressive that way), but using pre-made candies can make some beginners feel comfortable making something they'd never expect to accomplish. Here's what you need to make a small Croquembouche*:
30 Pre-made Mini Cream Puffs - go.magik.ly/ml/1pjyc
5.5oz Bag Werther's Originals - go.magik.ly/ml/1pjyd
1 Tbsp Butter - go.magik.ly/ml/1pjyf
1Tbsp Cream (Bump this up to 2Tbsp if you want a runnier caramel that's easier to work with, but looks less wispy) - go.magik.ly/ml/1pjye
Sprinkles (Optional) - go.magik.ly/ml/1pjyh
Melt candy, butter, and cream over low heat and use it to adhere cream puffs together.
*To make a large croquembouche, buy 80 cream puffs and double the amount of caramel. Decorate the perimeter with sprigs of rosemary and pomegranate arils.
