Not to have noticed the whole salted caramel thing until now?

[PeelThemWithTheirMetalKnives]

When and where did it start? DH tells me it tastes nice but I'm not sure I believe him

Oh it is so delicious!

I first discovered it on holiday in France, thought it was just a European thing maybe as they have the salted caramel flavour yoghurts which are delicious, but I've never seen them in England.

Definitely try it!

Co-op do a divine salted caramel cheesecake slice.

Salted caramel chocolates are wonderful (and so rich that even I can stop after a handful one or two.

Give them a try.

Oh god, don't - my mouth is watering.

Salted caramel is just fantastic.

Is there ACTUAL salt involved?

We had the coop salted caramel cheesecake today! Delish. I seriously want some salted caramels for Christmas now... It's a taste sensation!

YANBU. Get thee to The Mill Tea & Dining Room, Lyme Regis forthwith and prepare to be converted.

hester - don't panic, it's not salty like crisps or seawater. The salt just makes the caramel even better.
Like adding a little sugar brings out the flavour when cooking with tomatoes - but without making it taste like tomato jam.

Ooh, I would like to go to Lyme Regis and be jumped off the Cobb by Captain Wentworth so I may as well educate my palate at the same time. I think I WILL try this salted caramel of which you speak.

Thank you pip you have explained it perfectly

Oops sorry - not hester (already a convert to the cause), but PeelThemWithTheirMetalKnives of course .

Peelie - think of a Snicker bar! It is a bit salty and a bit (ok, horrendously) sweet.

It's like that, but better

piprabbit - not just a convert but a disciple

Will buy some!

I've never heard of this either. Is it a bit like sweet and salted popcorn? It's gorgeous.

Judes do a fabulous salted caramel icecream. It is seriously divine.

Salted caramel ice-cream is my fav. Saw some salted caramel melting puddings in Tesco's today.

Take nice caramel and ruin it!

where is salted caramel ice cream from please?

I like salted caramel very much.

Oh, I'd love some salted caramel ice cream! Where can it be git from?

got grr

Salted caramel popcorn ice cream from Waitrose.

I treated myself to some last week when I was in a bitch of a mood.

I love salted caramel. I really want to know how to make it though. Anyone know how? Or got any good salted caramel recipes?

Don't bother making the salted canapes recipe from the Christmas Woman and Home pull out, it's not that great.

Hotel Chocolat do some divine salted caramels

ooh yes, and if you can find a persian deli, they sometimes have layered caramel with salted pistaccio nuts.
