Find your way straight into you lovers stomach heart. I knew I wanted to post a recipe here for Valentine week. Who better to get one from than the talented baker, cooker, blogger, designer and co-founder of Remedy Quarterly? Visit (Kelly at Eat, Make, Read and Remedy). Here’s Kelly:
Whether you’re looking to woo a certain someone this Valentine’s or remind you’re favorite love why you’re so great, here’s a special little treat that will have their mouth watering and they’re heart fluttering. These homemade caramels are the perfect combination of buttery and sweet decadence with a hint of sea salt. They’re moderately easy to make, more work than you might spend on just anyone, but not so much that you look like a crazy person. Really, you just need a little patience and confidence along with sugar, butter, corn syrup, cream and sea salt.

fantastic! I want one of the caramels so badly but don’t have the time to cook one up. I’ll have to save it for later….but the eye candy will have to do for now.
