Salted Caramel Chocolate Squares
Low Carb, Grain Gluten Sugar Free, THM S, Keto
From: Taryn @ joyfilledeats.com/salted-caramel-chocolate-squares/
These Salted Caramel Chocolate Squares are simply amazing. With a buttery crust and a beautifully swirled topping of caramel and chocolate dusted with sea salt, they look like a treat from a fancy bakery.
If you don’t like chocolate (I knew someone like that once) feel free to leave it off and just make a salted caramel bar. I really want to try these without the chocolate and with some thinly sliced apple in the layer of caramel. I think it would give them a nice texture and only increase the carbs a little bit.
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 40min
Yields: 16 squares
Crust Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups almond flour
5 tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp cold water
Caramel Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet (or my sweetener blend)
1 tsp vanilla
Topping Ingredients:
1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips, melted
1/2 tsp coarse salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350. Line the bottom of a 9 inch square cake pan with parchment paper.
Mix the crust ingredients in a food processor until the dough comes together.
Press into the bottom of the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 16-20 minutes at 350 degrees until golden brown.
Cool completely.
Meanwhile, combine the sweetener, cream, and butter in a medium saucepan.
Cook over medium, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown and thickened.
Depending on the heat of your stove top this can take 10-15 minutes.
Watch it carefully. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla.
Cool for 5 minutes.
Pour the caramel over the cooled crust.
Put dollops of the melted chocolate ever inch or two.
Use a butter knife to gently swirl them together.
Sprinkle with the sea salt.
Store at room temperature for 2-3 days.
You can refrigerate for longer storage but the caramel will firm up.
