Happy National Caramel Day!

Happy National Caramel Day!

Surely you're familiar with the dulcet, sticky candy made with sugar, butter, cream or milk, and flavoring. But have you ever tried making it yourself? For a starter intro on making your own caramel candies -- which is surprisingly easy -- check out blog The Fine Art of Confectionary. They warn, "While there are a myriad of recipes out there, it is very important for you to understand that caramels must be cooked slowly to allow the sugars and milk solids to caramelize. The longer and slower they cook, the darker the color and richer the flavor."

But why stop there? Check out our list of enticing caramel recipes for some sweet inspiration:

Tartastic - Feast Your Eyes

chocolate tartTry saying this three times fast: Chocolate Mousse, Salted Caramel Ganache, Peanut and Banana Caramel Tart. As difficult as it may be to say, it looks like a breeze to eat (three times fast, of course).

Baked by Aran at Cannelle et Vanille, these diminutive beauties have almost as many complex layers as the Earth's surface. The chocolate shells are filled with a layer of banana caramel with peanuts, another layer of triple chocolate salted caramel ganache, and then crowned with a cloud of chocolate mousse.

The whole is garnished with cocoa powder, chocolate shavings and chopped peanuts. Eat. Await indescribable bliss.

Pim's Chocolate-Caramel Shortbread Sandwiches

chocolate-caramel shortbread sandwiches

Just the other day, I was perusing my RSS feed and wondered when Pim would once again make me salivate with some amazing, but simple, recipe. Wonder and ye shall receive, I guess, because she's just done it again in the most delightful way -- Chocolate-Caramel Shortbread Sandwiches.

I might not be a big chocolate fiend, but make it a dark chocolate, and team it with shortbread and salty caramel? I can't think of much that would be tastier. Basically, these cookies are small slabs of shortbread that have a chocolate ganache ring inside that holds in gooey caramel. So, not only are they a mixture of delicious flavors, but they're cookies with a creamy explosion inside.

I just wish these went up the other night when I was baking for the company I had tonight.
