    The BEST Salted Caramel Recipes

    It's no secret that I love caramel recipes... but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE salted caramel recipes even more!!

    There's just something about a little sprinkle of salt that takes desserts, slices and treats to a whole new level.

    In fact, if you haven't tried adding a pinch of salt over the chocolate layer of my famous caramel slice recipe, then you absolutely must. It's amazing!

    The combination of sweetness and saltiness just can't be beat!

    Browse my collection of the most popular salted caramel recipes below.

      HI- Love the salted caramel mud cake, I've made it a few times now and never had a failure. However, I'm looking for a recipe for salted caramel cupcakes. I would like something that is easily transportable (thinking of school lunch boxes) & ideally something that freezes. -Can you help please?

      Thank you.
