Do you like your caramels salted or not?
I have gotten into eating Salted Caramel....
I love the taste of sweet and salty together.....
And put it together with chocolate and it is wonderful.

Today's post is about the caramel
Microwave Salted Caramel
adapted from Food.com
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light Karo Syrup - I use Roger's Syrup that I buy in Canada
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp salt
Combine all ingredients in a microwave safe bowl. Cook on high for 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes. Stir and pour in lightly greased pan. Cool. Once cool and slightly hardened score into small pieces. I put mine back in the fridge until set and then brought it out and cut the candies.
I put tinfoil and lightly greased it... this way I could pull the caramel out of the dish and cut them
My first batch I did not put the salt in with all the ingredients and once I poured them into the pan, I sprinkled Kosher salt on the caramels.
Once caramels are set, you can dip them in melted chocolate... YUM! or eat them as is...
