Christmas is just around the corner and who doesn’t like candy? Where we live there is a local candy factory that has wonderful chocolates but they are loaded with sugar! These Salted Caramel Chocolates are just perfect and best of all they are sugar-free.
Lily’s Chocolatesare sweetened with Stevia and have a wonderful taste. Themilk chocolatesare the best but they also have quite a number of flavors such as Mint, Butterscotch, Salted Caramel, Dark, and Seasonal flavors like Pumpkin Spice. These chocolate chips can be found at most large super-marts, Walmart, and on Amazon.

Salted Caramel Chocolates, THM S, SF, GF, Keto
- Caramel:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Sweetener Substitute or Gentle Sweet
- 1/8 teaspoons Olive Nation Brown Sugar Extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- Chocolate Coating:
- 1 bag, 7 ounces Lily’s Milk Chocolate Chips
- coarse pretzel salt
- Caramel: In a 1 quart sauce pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown. Heat the cream slightly (you dont want it ice cold from the fridge). Add to the saucepan along with the sweetener. Reduce heat until low and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until the caramel is reduce to half. Add the extracts. Stir well. You will see small brown flecks in it but that is ok. It is from the butter being browned. Pour the prepared caramel into molds. Refrigerate until set. Pop each caramel out of the mold. I return them to the fridge to stay firm while I prepare the chocolate. Chocolate Coating: melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 15 second intervals or use a Wilton Melting Pot for chocolate. Stirring between each time. Dip each caramel in the chocolate. Place on a parchment covered sheet to harden. Sprinkle with coarse pretzel salt while the chocolate is still soft. 34 candies.
You will see brown specks in the caramel from browning the butter. This is ok…browning the butter is what gives the caramel such a great flavor.

Pop each caramel out of the mold. I place them on a plate and keep them in the fridge while I prepare the chocolate for coating. These caramels don’t look as clear from being in the fridge.

Silicon Candy Molds are great to use. The caramel pops out of them which makes them so easy to use.
I love to use Olive Nation Brown Sugar Extract to make caramel and also Brown Sugar Sweetener. It has the best flavor and makes your items have a regular brown sugar taste!
Coarse Pretzel Salt is always in my pantry. You can use it for so many things. It looks so nice on top of these candies.
This chocolate melting pot will keep your chocolate at the perfect temperature for dipping.
This Dipping Set is great for sipping chocolates, fruit, cookies, etc.
The Trim Healthy Mama Store has wonderful products. Here is my affiliate link if you wish to use it.Trim Healthy Mama Store.
Gentle Sweet…is a sweetener that tastes very similar to sugar. This blend is so worth it when transiting to sugar-free.
