French sea salt is the perfect finish for these candy cups. This hand-harvested fine salt looks like tiny snowflakes. Reserve it for recipes that highlight its texture and distinctive clean flavor. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream |
1 (14-oz.) package caramels |
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts, toasted |
1 cup coarsely crushed thin pretzel sticks (we tested with rold gold) |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 3/4 cups bittersweet chocolate morsels |
fleur de sel (french sea salt) or coarse sea salt |
Directions:
1. Combine heavy cream and caramels in a small microwave-safe bowl; microwave at HIGH 2 to 3 minutes or until caramels are melted, stirring after every minute. Stir in nuts, pretzels, and vanilla. Spoon mixture into 45 (1 1/2 ) foil petits four cups lightly greased with cooking spray, filling each two-thirds full; cool completely.
2. Place chocolate morsels in a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until melted; stir until smooth. Spoon chocolate evenly over caramel in cups; cool slightly. Sprinkle with fleur de sel, and let candy cups set completely. Store candy cups in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
