Three Things Thursday (The Salted Caramel Edition)

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Coco

Have you noticed that “salted caramel” seems to be a popular flavor this season? I never thought of myself as a big caramel fan, but I am totally hooked on this fad.

My absolute favorite are the salted caramel cake pops at Starbucks.

They have just the right amount of fudgey chocolate cake, a thick chocolate shell, and a  drizzle of caramel–that’s a lot of tastebud satisfaction for 180 calories.

For a lighter dose of caramel, this is my new favorite latte drink.

That’s a non-fat latte with caramel drizzle!

When I want to go all-out, I savor one of these

Artisan Salted Caramels

or a square or two of one of these.

Have you tried any salted caramel creations?

    We had a Salted Caramel Apple Pie at Thanksgiving that was amazing. Plus there was lots of extra caramel leftover that made for some tasty ice cream sundaes.

    I love salted caramel, but just a traditional Sees Candy-like thing. It doesn't do much for me as a coffee drink.

    I haven't tried salted caramel yet but I guess I better get on the train! My husband loves caramel and he loves milk chocolate so better get him some of these goodies to try!

    Yes! I love the salted caramel phase… too many goodies this time of year, but that one is definitely worth the splurge. 🙂

    I've had the Godiva salted caramel milk chocolate – delicious! And of course I love artisan. Sometimes the salted caramel things are kind of artificial-tasting – like a TJ's salted caramel belgian chocolate I sampled….you will be happy to know that I threw the rest away when I did not like the first bite! I also like using coarse kosher salt in some baked goods like Ina Garten oatmeal/dark brown sugar cookies – great enhancement of the taste!
