These caramels!!! Now, I'm not going to take the claim to fame for inventing this caramel recipe, because it is a very slight adaptation from Ina Garten's fleur de sel caramel recipe, but I did come up with the idea to cover them in dark chocolate and top with some flaked sea salt, and that's got to mean something.
Despite the amount of time it took to make these treats, the whole process was really fun. I'm not sure if you've ever made marshmallows from scratch, but you should give it a try. They are pretty easy to make, and it's somewhat like a science experiment.
I decided on making homemade fruit and nut chocolate bars, and some homemade Skor bars, and am going to try to not eat them all by the holidays, especially the Skor bars which are out-of-this-world.
Aren’t these just the cutest little meringues you’ve ever seen? Wrap them up in a tiny bag and they will make the perfect Holiday gift!
