It's my 8th Wedding Anniversary tomorrow, which I hear is 'salt' or 'bronze'. My husband and I tend to give each other little token type presents, and I thought I'd make him some salt caramels.

Does anyone have a good recipe that I can make without a sugar thermometer?

Oh yum. No, I haven't, but I'm marking my place in case anyone else has...

IT's really tricky to make without a sugar thermometer tbh, try making some toffee instead (far easier).

What a lovely idea though, Happy Anniversary.

hotel chocolat make lovely salt caramels if that is any help. (probably too late now!) If it was my dh I'd send him a link and tell him an order was en route. :)

I now have a huge box of salted caramels. Yummmmmmy.

I used Dan Lepard's caramel recipe

www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2009/aug/14/caramel-make-recipe-dan-lepard

and sprinkled maldon salt on top when it was done. I just kept checking it while it was boiling by dropping bits into cold water until it was sort of chewy.

I'm going to have one now!
