Serves 6

Cooking Time Prep time 10 mins, cook 10 mins (plus setting)



250 gm   white sugar
250 ml   (1 cup) double cream
60 gm   liquid glucose (see note)
30 gm   butter
200 gm   dark chocolate (66% cocoa solids), coarsely chopped


1 Place sugar, cream, glucose, butter and 3 tsp of sea salt in a heavy-based pan, stir over medium-heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium-high and boil until mixture reaches 118C on a thermometer (7-8 minutes). Divide among 24 lightly buttered mini-muffin moulds and stand until firm (3-4 hours).
2 Melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, spoon over each caramel and stand until set. Remove from moulds and store on a single layer in a baking paper-lined airtight container for up to 5 days.

Note Liquid glucose is available from select supermarkets, health food stores and cake supply stores.
