Pink Salted Honey Caramels Homemade caramels sounds like an intimidating thing to make, but if you have a candy thermometer and don’t walk away from it, it’s pretty easy to do. These are made with a combination of honey and sugar for a unique twist. The pink hibiscus sea salt adds an amazing flavor, especially if you use a floral honey, such as wild flower or orange blossom. These make a great homemade gift; simply wrap the individual caramels in parchment paper.

Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the mixture is about 244 degrees on your candy thermometer. 4. Pour the caramel into the parchment lined baking pan. Let cool for a few minutes and sprinkle with the Jamaica salt. Allow to cool completely, remove from the pan and cut into squares.
