Raw Salted Caramel Slices – the sweet & salty flavor combination made us curious.
With a little sleuthing, we’ve succeeded here in creating a uniquely delicious, sweet seduction. Vegan, gluten-free, sugar-free and, of course, not baked. Classically, the salty caramel layer is made with condensed milk, but we’ve replaced this with cashews and coconut oil. This treat is perfect as a healthier dessert or sweet snack.
Our special recommendation:
The caramel pieces can be stored in the freezer for months and can be eaten straight from the freezer.
Now please indulge yourself in our delicious creation!

MESQUITE
Mesquite also know as Peruvian carob or “white carob” is extracted from sweet pod beans and has been popular with the indigenous people of South America for centuries.
In this recipe, mesquite provides that special something and adds the caramel flavor.
CRYSTAL SALT BRINE
Brine is made from crystal salt chunks. For this purpose, mix one crystal salt chunks in 1 cup of water. The crystal salt will dissolve in the water until the solution reaches a maximum saturation of 26%. This concentrated salt solution has strong antibacterial properties and cannot spoil. After each use, water can be added until the salt crystals are completely dissolved.
