Instructions
0 For the Caramel Center: Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend until smooth. Line a medium container (I used a 5x5 inch dish) with parchment paper and press the sticky mixture inside, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon or spatula. Cover and freeze for about 4 hours until firm 1 For the Chocolate Coating: Start making the chocolate coating 15 minutes before the caramel slices are set. Add 2 inches of water to a small pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat 2 Pour the finely chopped cacao butter in a medium Pyrex or ceramic mixing bowl and place it on top of the pot to create a double boiler (make sure the bowl is not touching the water). Let the bowl sit for 2-3 minutes until the cacao butter is melted 3 Add the cacao powder and maple syrup and stir to combine. Carefully remove the bowl using oven mitts and set it aside for 5 minutes to cool 4 Assemble: Cut the caramel into small squares, dip them into the melted chocolate, and place on a parchment paper. Quickly sprinkle with sea salt before the chocolate sets within seconds! Enjoy them right away or store in the fridge for best resultsView original recipe
