Being salt obssessed, as evidenced by the name of this blog, when I came across Maldon smoked sea salt at a recent weekly trip to Sur la Table {there is one in the building I work in}, I immediately began thinking of ways to do it justice. Although the possibilities were endless, a savory dish seemed too predictable for my first dalliance with this very special salt. I ultimately determined that I would make a slightly smokier version of salted caramels. They were absolutely divine – the smokiness was subtly poignant against the melting, vanilla backdrop of the caramels.

Those look great! Perfect for this tie of the year, especially with Halloween approaching.
Thank you! I agree – I think that they would also make great hostess gifts for the holidays – maybe in glassine bags tied with cute baker’s twine. I love your blog also!
Only one word for this – Yum!
Thanks Claire! I am thinnking about making them for the holidays and wrapping them up in cute bags with colored baker’s twine for gifts!
