Salted Caramel Chocolates | Homemade Rolos

I enjoy sweet things when the sweetness is not overpowering. So that generally means making your owns sweets, cakes etc, because manufacturers load their products with huge amounts of sugar. It's not good for your teeth, and it's not good for you. End of lecture. I first had these 'Rolos' about 5 years ago at a steak restaurant (Hawksmoor) in London. Regular Rolos, I find, are too sweet for me. These restaurant-made sweets with a bit of salt in the caramel were just sensational. I thought I'd share the recipe - you'll love them, and they make a great gift too.

Spectacular! Great and interesting recipe which I will definitely try at home! Oh, and a million thanks for the shout out, the girls LOVED IT!

Merry Christmas Keef and Mrs! Just a tip; quickly dip the tray in hot water, then turn out the chocolates. The hot water will loosen them up enough to let them slide out of the form I learned this trick from a pro baker. the candy will come out without breaking it. Also, the chocolate will quickly solidify as the caramel is cold.

Yes! I love it! Desserts are always fun, and I’ve always been a fan of Rolos! Makes me remember your long egg chocolate creme egg.

Excellent video Keef!
I used to make medical cannabis chocolates which were a mixture of butter and chocolate. In the process I discovered that most chocolates stuck to cube trays and made removal very difficult; the darker the chocolate, the harder the sticking. The solution was to use a very thin coating of white chocolate as a mold release agent and they dropped out very easily.

They look great. I always enjoy watching your experiments and how you solve the problems that arise.

You kept that one real keef 👍
You really do have to understand chocolate and the talent of the chocolatier. I’m going to have a go at that but have to buy the molds.
Hey can you fathom out a picnic bar for me. They are a craving for me and the chewy peanut caramel wafer crispy 🥴🇬🇧🥰

try running a hair drier on the bottoms

Those look so wonderful! I thought you could have passed the first lot off as an addition to homemade ice cream or some other recipe that requires chopped Rolos. Yours would be too good for that though.
Merry Christmas!
