Salted Chocolate CaramelsRomulo Yanes

It's the sprinkle of sea salt that really takes these caramels over the top, teasing out the creamy richness of the buttery chocolate candies.

Cooks' notes:

•If desired, additional sea salt can be pressed onto caramels after cutting.
•Caramels keep, layered between sheets of parchment or wax paper, in an airtight container at cool room temperature 2 weeks.
•Caramels can be wrapped in 4-inch squares of wax paper; twist ends to close.
