I had been wondering about the possibility of creating my own version of Fran's delectable salty chocolate balls.. er.. caramels. I've made caramel before, but never individual caramel candies. How hard can it be? I found this recipe for French caramels with fleur de sel, but it doesn't say anything about coating the candies in chocolate. There's another Betty Crocker recipe for plain caramels that looks good (and the other candy recipes on this page look promising too). This recipe for Salted Chocolate Caramels from Epicurious looks like the real thing, but the reviews aren't so hot as the caramel apparently comes out extremely oily. Maybe a combination of several recipes would be the best bet. And this last recipe comes with a perhaps more realistic photo. What do you think, should I try it?
