Black Vanilla Salted Caramel Sauce

This Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce is perfect for topping ice cream, apple pie or almost any fall dessert. Our Black Vanilla salt is made with genuine Tahitian vanilla beans and is mixed with a delicate hand-harvested sea salt, making it perfect for pairing with sweets all without overwhelming the sauce.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon size pieces
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon Salt Cellar Black Vanilla Salt

Directions

1. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, heat the water and sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble just a little.
2. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, stop stirring completely. Let the mixture continue boiling until it turns an amber color, this could take anywhere from 4-10 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will bubble up quite a bit, so make sure to do this very carefully. Then, mix in the butter, vanilla, and sea salt one at a time.
4. Pour the caramel sauce into a dish and allow to cool completely, then cover tightly and store in the refrigerator. The caramel sauce will thicken as it cools.

Caramel Salted Brownies

We’ve used our Chocolate Mist Sea Salt for a deeper, richer, and more intense chocolate flavor. With a touch of sea salt to bump up the gourmet flavor factor for these delicious treats - you won’t be able to have just one bite. The combination of gooey caramel, sweet chocolate and a touch of sea salt… need we say more?

3. Butter a 12- by 20-inch piece of foil. Line a 9- by 13-inch pan with foil, buttered side up, letting foil hang over pan ends. Scrape batter into pan. Evenly space caramels over batter.
4. Bake brownies in a 325° oven just until a toothpick inserted in the center (not in a caramel) comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool.

5. Lift brownies with foil from pan to a counter. Peel back sides of foil. With a long, hot knife, cut between caramels into 35 squares; occasionally rinse knife in very hot water and wipe clean.
