Chocolate salted caramel kisses are a delightful treat that combine the rich flavor of dark chocolate with the irresistible taste of salted caramel. These bite-sized morsels are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth and are sure to impress at any gathering. With cashews adding a crunchy texture and light sour cream providing a hint of tanginess, this recipe is both decadent and unique. Follow these steps to create your own batch of chocolate salted caramel kisses.
Instructions:
- Measure and set out all ingredients. Ensure the cashews are roughly chopped if they are whole, and the dark chocolate is finely chopped for easier melting.
- In a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the 1 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water. Stir gently to ensure all the sugar is moistened.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat. Allow the sugar to dissolve completely without stirring. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, increase the heat to medium-high and let the mixture boil. Do not stir, but you can gently swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even caramelization.
- Continue to cook until the mixture turns a deep amber color. This should take around 5-8 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Once the caramel reaches the desired amber color, remove the pan from the heat.
- Carefully and slowly whisk in the 1/2 cup of light sour cream. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble up vigorously. Keep stirring until the sour cream is fully incorporated and the caramel is smooth.
- Allow the caramel to cool slightly.
- Once the caramel has cooled to a warm but not hot temperature, stir in the 1 cup of chopped cashews until they are evenly coated with caramel.
- Place the 1 cup of chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Using a teaspoon or a small cookie scoop, dollop small mounds of the caramel-cashew mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Working quickly, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over each caramel-cashew mound, ensuring each one gets a good coating of chocolate.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for faster setting.
- Once the chocolate has fully hardened, your Chocolate Salted Caramel Kisses are ready to be enjoyed. Transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer, more luxurious taste.
- Be sure to constantly stir the caramel to avoid burning it.
- Allow the caramel to cool slightly before adding the cashews to ensure they are evenly coated.
- Chilling the kisses in the refrigerator will help them set more quickly and maintain their shape.
- If you prefer a more pronounced salted caramel flavor, sprinkle a little sea salt on top of the kisses before they fully set.
There you have it – a delectable batch of chocolate salted caramel kisses that are sure to become a favorite among family and friends. The combination of dark chocolate, rich caramel, and crunchy cashews creates a truly irresistible treat. Enjoy these kisses as an indulgent snack or gift them to loved ones for a special homemade touch. Happy cooking!
