These chocolate sea salt caramels are a delightful treat that combines the rich, creamy sweetness of caramel with the deep flavor of chocolate and a hint of sea salt. This recipe is perfect for gatherings, holidays, or as a special treat for your loved ones. The origins of this dessert can be traced back to French confectionaries, but it has become a favorite here in the Midwest. Making these caramels at home allows you to add a personal touch that store-bought versions can’t match.
These caramels are versatile and can be served as a sweet end to a meal, perfect alongside a cup of coffee or tea. For a more decadent dessert, pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a fruit platter. Adding a sprinkle of crushed nuts can also give an extra crunch that contrasts nicely with the soft chewiness of the caramels.
