Materials Needed:

Yarns: Milk cotton yarn recommended. Colors needed: main yellow for caramel, another shade of yellow for accents, brown, red for the cherry, and white for cream.
Crochet Hook: 3.5 mm.
Additional Tools: Sewing needle, stitch marker, scissors, a box (wooden suggested, dimensions 8cm x 8cm x 4.5cm), screwdriver (for box modification), stuffing, beads, glue gun.

Crochet Patterns:

Bottom of the Caramel:

Start With a Magic Ring:

Wrap yarn over two fingers to create a cross, hold at the junction with your thumb, insert hook, pull through a loop, and secure with a chain stitch.

Foundation Row:

Chain 3 (counts as first double crochet), then two more double crochets into the ring, chain 2. This setup creates the starting corner.

Proceed With Pattern:

Repeat the pattern of 3 double crochets, chain 2, around the ring to make four corner sets. Pull tail to tighten the ring.

Join and Expand:

Slip stitch in the top of the chain 3 to close. For the next rounds, follow by expanding every corner with 2 double crochets, chain 2, 2 double crochets in every chain 2 space from the previous round.

Making the Square to the Box Size:

After finishing the base rounds, match the work to the size of the box. For perfect fitting, adjust the number of rounds accordingly.

Sides of the Box:

Work in back loops only to start shaping the sides, ensuring a snug fit over the box. Continue until the crocheted piece covers the sides of the box appropriately.

Caramel Drips (Top Part):

Switch to Brown Yarn:

Crochet the top with one less round than the bottom for a tighter fit.

Drip Details:

After finishing the top part in brown, using loops left in front from working in back loops only, crochet drips by varying the stitches (e.g., slip stitches for short drips, single crochet, half double crochet for longer drips).

Cherry and Cream (Decorations):

Cherry:

Use red yarn to crochet a small sphere. Start with a magic ring, 6 single crochets into the ring, then increase in each round until the desired size. Fill with stuffing and close.

Cream:

Switch to white yarn, work a series of single crochets, increases to form a circle that fits on top of the caramel box. Add textural details by crocheting in front loops or making popcorn stitches for a whipped cream effect.
