Salted Caramels.....I want these now!!

[pearlD]

I just finished an amazing Easter Treat....first time for me..never had these 'Salty Caramels'..am I the last one in the city to eat these? A friend made some of them....said they were hell on wheels to 'wrap' (she did about 200) and she's never going to do it again! WHERE can I buy some?

[justsayn]

If you don't mind some chocolate.....odile chocolat on Dundas west of Bathurst has AMAZING salted caramel filled chocolates.

[justxpete]

I like their origin chocolates most - and those brownies. I'm an addict.

[justsayn]

Addict? I hear ya. thanks for the tip on the brownies!

[justxpete]

Especially addictive when they're of the peruvian chocolate variety.

[MELCH]

Bobette & Belle has some amazing ones made in-house. It's one of my fave things they make

[Tangerina]

They sound too delicious! I would love to try these!

PC Black Label offers plain (i.e. no chocolate) fleur de sel caramels imported from France - although I haven't tried.

[Wench Foraday]

Probably could predicted this, but these taste like Werthers chewy caramels with a bit of salt. Nothing special at all.

Xococava next to Cava at Yonge and St. Clair - they carry them and they are yummy.

[cokeandsnickers]

Soma got the whole salted caramel chocolate train rolling years ago. Nowadays you can get some variation of salted chocolate everywhere. I even saw a sea salt and chili donut at Loblaws a while back.

[Degustation]

I sampled a salted chocolate dipped tamarind caramel at Xococava over the weekend. Tangy fruit with caramel enveloped in dark chocolate with fleur de sel sprinkled on top. Interesting flavour combination, but I think I would have preferred less tamarind and more caramel.

If you want to try making them, here's a recipe....wondering if you can just skip the chocolate steps.

Costco did have Kirkland brand milk chocolate salted caramels a few months ago. Not sure if they still do. It was probably seasonal.

[Baelsette]

If you are ever in Union Station there is a "Purdy's" in the basement. It is a west coast chain and they make the most amazing salted caramels in both milk and dark. I am a dark chocolate fan but actually prefer their milk chocolate salted caramels. They are truly incredible!

[Helen]

They have a Purdy's in Fairview Mall and I've had their salted caramels. Delicious.

[MiniMom]

Dlish cupcakes has amazing salted caramel cupcakes. I bought a dozen mixed and ate that one first.. yes the rest were really good this one set the bar very high.

Try Grant Street Caramels - http://www.grantstcaramelco.com/

[TorontoJo]

Ooh, 2nd Grant St. They are delicious.

Third. We buy the packages at the Brickworks market, sprinkle the salt on ourselves, slice and enjoy. Mmmm.

[TorontoJo]

Oh, I always wondered about that option -- does the salt stick to the caramel alright?

[peppermint pate]

Yup - no problem. Saves a bit of money, and it's kinda fun, to do it this way.

[pearlD]

peppermint pate....what a good idea and Brickworks Market is quite close to us so it's a terrific suggestion and dare I say...'a done deal'! many thanks...

[peppermint pate]

Excellent! Please post back to let us know if they hit the spot.

[TorontoJo]

Were the ones you had covered in chocolate or not? My absolute favourite salted caramels, ever, are the fleur de sel caramels from Soma. Amazing caramel covered in chocolate and sprinkled with fleur de sel. Addictive.

[pearlD]

No, they were plain....I could try the ones at Soma, but only as a second choice..thanks.

[Wahooty]

Not what you're looking for, but I find a spoonful of dulce de leche with some coarse salt sprinkled on it hits the spot when I have that craving. ;)

[pearlD]

What a great idea!!

[julesrules]

Hagen Daaz Dulce de Leche ice cream is also good with a sprinkle of Fleur De Sel!

[justxpete]

Those are easily my favorite truffles in the city. I believe Splendido turned me on to them years and years ago! I've been an addict ever since. Sometimes I just get a whole box of those - nothing else. Also, somewhat surprisingly, Barque also makes a very good salted chocolate caramel truffle (although I'm not certain if they make them in house). A little on the messy side, but definitely an adequate substitution, and close 2nd, for certain.

Lastly, TJ, have you been to Odilei chocolate on Dundas, near Por&Co? They have some great fair trade truffles (although, easily as expensive as the 'big guys',) but very high quality.

[TorontoJo]

Yeah, I rarely stray outside of the fleur de sel chocolates at Soma. Haven't tried Odilei, will keep an eye out next time I'm in the area.
