Ingredients:

For the Salted Caramel Bites:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)

Instructions:

Prepare the Caramel:

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula.
  2. Continue to cook the sugar, stirring frequently, until it melts completely and turns into a deep amber color. Be cautious as the sugar will be extremely hot.
  3. Carefully add the unsalted butter to the melted sugar and stir until the butter is completely melted and incorporated.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly. The mixture will bubble vigorously, so be cautious.
  5. Once the cream is fully incorporated, continue to cook the caramel for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove it from heat.
  6. Stir in the pure vanilla extract, and let the caramel cool for a few minutes. It will thicken as it cools.

Shape the Salted Caramel Bites: 7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  1. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop small portions of the caramel onto the parchment paper to form bite-sized rounds.
  2. While the caramel is still warm, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over each bite. The contrast of sweet and salty is what makes these bites special.

Cool and Set: 10. Let the Salted Caramel Bites cool and set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch.

Serve and Enjoy: 11. Once the caramel bites have fully set, transfer them to a serving platter or an airtight container for storage.

  1. Serve and enjoy these irresistible sweet and salty treats. They make a delightful snack or a stunning addition to dessert platters.

Cook’s Notes:

  • When working with caramel, it’s important to exercise caution as it can get extremely hot. Keep children and pets away from the cooking process.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of sea salt flakes to your taste. Some prefer a subtle saltiness, while others enjoy a more pronounced salty contrast.
  • You can store the Salted Caramel Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If your kitchen is warm, you can refrigerate them to prevent melting.
