Fleur de Sel Caramels
It’s time to begin to make the sweet treats that always bring smiles to young and old at Christmastime. I haven’t made these in a couple of years but remember what a hit they were. These are really easy to make but require a little attention as you approach the high heat point. We wrapped them in pieces of parchment paper; but this year I found some candy wrappers that will add a festive look to the caramels.
