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

Salted caramel and apple ice cream :o

It's like putting salt in porridge, perfect.

Salted camel does not sound nice....

I always think of salted caramel as a Breton thing - my favourite dessert ever is a Breton pancake with salted caramel sauce and vanilla icecream... I am still eking out a bottle of salted caramel sauce I brought back from Brittany this summer.

You can get some stuff online - eg salted butter caramels but I haven't seen any in the shops here.

Would you rather have unsalted camel?

Salted caramel chocolates are amazing though.

On a similar note - lindt dark chocolate with sea salt is incredibly delicious too and practically healthy.

Hotel chocolate salted caramel puddles - just amazing

Never heard of this salted caramel of which you speak but I might have to give the Co-op cheesecake thing a go. I love cheescake.

I like those cheapo creme caramel thingies, sprinkled with sea salt. The dds think I am insane.

Lindt sea salt chocolate is amazing.

Being jumped by Captain Wentworth may just be better than chocolate though.

Mmmmm, salted caramels. Mmmmmm.

Lindt Sea Salt dark chocolate is just lush, and I've just discovered a milk chocolate version too.

Salted caramel, salted liquorice....all good.

Ooh try the Marks and sparks chocolate bar with salted caramel in it, its amazing!!!

Berthillon in Paris do a gorgeous caramel beurre salée ice cream, which I combine with a scoop of pear sorbet on a cone - it's the slightly salty sweetness and then the fresh, slightly tart pear...

• departs for Eurostar -

Or l'Artisan du Chocolat in London (Sloane St, Selfridges Food Hall and madly expensive, but also sell cheapie misshapes at Borough Market, which are just as delicious if wonky-looking) do divine salted caramels with liquid centres...

Co-op do a divine salted caramel cheesecake slice

Oh yes! I had 2 slices of it earlier, was reduced in co op.

Very nice.

It is scrumptious stuff.

there is an ice cream shop near us that sells Caramel Fleur de Sel ice cream. It is to DIE for.

I tried making salted caramels but they were not 100% successful. Must get a confectionery thermometer and try again.

The left over caramels were used as caramel chips in banana muffins.

Salted Caramel Ice Cream recipe - not tried it but have heard it is fabulous.

and

Banana Ice Cream with Salted Caramel Sauce

I made a dessert recently with apples, salted caramel and pancake batter.

You can buy L'Artisan du Chocolat salted caramels on-line here.
They are lovely - I treated myself to a pack to celebrate the birth of DD .

Like the sound of that salted caramel sauce recipe, thanks. Bet that would be nice over a baked pear or apple
