Time 9h50m

Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup white sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
¾ cup light corn syrup
½ cup butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups 60% cacao dark chocolate chips
¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening
1 tablespoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
  • Combine white sugar, 1/2 cup cream, light corn syrup, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup cream. Cook, without stirring, until mixture reaches 242 degrees (117 degrees C), or until a small amount of the caramel mixture forms a firm yet pliable ball when dropped in cold water. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla extract.

  • Remove baking pan from the fridge and allow caramel mixture to warm up slightly, about 30 minutes. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  • Combine dark and semisweet chocolate chips with shortening in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, about 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Cut caramel into 1-inch squares. Dip caramel squares in melted chocolate, shaking off excess. Place on lined baking sheet; sprinkle with sea salt. Chill until hardened, about 1 hour.

CARAMEL SEA SALT DARK CHOCOLATE COINS



Caramel Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Coins image

These chocolate coins are inspired by my love for the chocolate-salt-caramel flavor combination, and my fascination with edible money. To this day, if I'm in a store and I see those little mesh bags of chocolate coins, I immediately turn into a 5-year-old. Those foil wrapped chocolates were, for whatever reason, my absolute favorite. Come on, money and chocolate in one shiny package...beautiful.

Time 1h25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
sea salt to taste
1 tablespoon cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour about 1 inch of water into the bottom of a saucepan and place over medium-low heat; bring the water to a simmer and turn off the heat. Place a stainless steel bowl over the saucepan. Put the chocolate in the bowl and soften over the hot water.
  • Place the sugar in a small skillet over medium-low heat and cook until it forms a dark liquid and begins to bubble, 7 to 9 minutes. Carefully pour the cream over the caramelized sugar. Cook and stir the mixture until the caramelized sugar is dissolved into the cream; immediately remove from heat. Pour the hot cream mixture over the warmed chocolate; stir quickly with a spatula until completely incorporated.
  • Drop the mixture by the teaspoon onto the prepared baking sheet. Top each portion with a sprinkle of sea salt. Cover with plastic wrap. Gently press a second baking sheet onto the chocolate coins to flatten. Chill in refrigerator until firm. Dust with the cocoa.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is ideal.
  • Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped before melting it. This will help it melt evenly and smoothly.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. Overheated chocolate can seize up and become grainy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
  • When pouring the chocolate into the molds, tap the molds on the counter to release any air bubbles.
  • Let the chocolate cool completely before unmolding it. This will help prevent the chocolate from breaking.
  • Store the chocolate coins in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Caramel sea salt dark chocolate coins are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these decadent chocolates that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
