8 Indulgent salted caramel recipes that will hit your taste buds in all the right spots

Who would have ever thought the sweet, classic gooey goodness of caramel could get any better? But it did, by adding a little salt.

Salted caramel came to life in the 1990s when a chef by the name of Pierre Hermé created the very first salted caramel macaron. Since then the decadent salty/sweet combo has been incorporated into various bakes,coffees, ice cream and chocolates (chocolate, salt, caramel – a sensational trinity you cannot deny).

Even though this is a combination where you can still distinctly taste the two apart, they come together in such a way that makes you want more and more!
