I agree with the above. I scale my caramel recipes up and down without any issues. The one thing i could think of that might be causing issues is that perhaps you are taking inaccurate temperature readings. Make sure to use a candy thermometer or a probe thermometer that is taking the temp in the interior of the batch. Infrared readings on the surface are never that accurate but especially so for larger batches where the difference between the surface temp and the temp of the interior can be significant.
