It just calls my name.....

Salted Caramel ... I have a thing for salted caramel.  Thank goodness, I can walk away most of the time, otherwise I would have a major problem.  I have always liked caramel.  Caramel apples, caramel corn, caramel mocha frappuccino --I just like caramel.  I am at a point where caramel could replace chocolate for me-- unless it's salted dark chocolate.  For me, this is just a beautiful blend of sweet, smooth and salt.
I would treat myself every few weeks during the holidays to a Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha (skinny and decaf) and recently, on a cold rainy day I tried to order one and found out that it's a seasonal drink!  Makes me sad-- so I am searching a way to make this at home.
Then, my favorite bakery seems not to be carrying the salted caramel cupcake on a regular basis, but honestly how would I know because I don't even go there once a month-- but when I do, they don't have them so I guess they are saving me the calories!  Another bakery told me they could make salted caramel cupcakes or even a layer cake, but they don't buy the salt needed.  REALLY????
The good news is Weight Watchers has a Salted Caramel Brownie and while it is good-- it's not the same.  It's not quite the perfect blend of salt and caramel.
Sunday, I found Stacy's Pita Salted Caramel Chips.  They are good and crunchy and satisfy my snacking need but need a bit more caramel. So, I am searching for that perfect salted caramel treat.  The perfect balance of salt and sweet, creamy and yummy.   I hear there is a salted caramel martini that I need to try.
