i'm usually not a big fan of eating salt chunks.

...or labor of, well, any kind really. so imagine my pleasant surprise when i made this fleur de sel caramel recipe this afternoon and found it both delectable and effortless (photo borrowed from the recipe source):


if you like butter, sugar, cream, salt or light corn syrup (i may be judging you right now if you actually like the last one), this is the perfect dessert for you. if you like savory + sweet things chocolate-covered pretzel style, this is the candy for you (this is starting to feel pretty much exactly like if you like giorgio, you'll love primo! designer imposter perfume!). anyway, i'm not going to go all rachael ray on your ass and stand on my soapbox shouting YUMMO in your face, but you get the idea.

this would also be the perfect (read: cheap) gift to give that food snob friend of yours that prefers haricot verts to green beans and only eats canadian bacon ironically.
