Sweet & Salty Chocolate Covered Carmels Recipe

Sweet & Salty Chocolate Covered Carmels

The combination of smooth, sweet caramel, crunchy Himalayan Salt crystals, and chocolate may sound a bit odd, but it makes these candies a seasonal favorite!

Ingredients:
  • 1 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 6 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lb bittersweet chocolate, chopped

Directions:

1. Line an 8” baking pan with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, bring  the cream  to a boil. Stir in the sugar, corn syrup and honey and continue to stir until it begins to boil. Periodically wipe down the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent sugar crystals from forming.

3. Cook the candy, stirring occasionally, until it reaches 257 degrees on a candy thermometer.

4. Remove the pan from the heat immediately and stir in the butter, vanilla, and 2 teaspoons of salt.

5. Pour into prepared pan and let set at room temperature until firm enough to cut.

6. Cut the caramel into small squares or strips with a chef’s knife.

7. Temper the chocolate and dip the caramels in the chocolate one at a time. Place them on a baking sheet covered with waxed paper or foil to set. While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on the remaining salt and allow to set completely.
