These soft coconut salted caramels with a healthy twist are definitively worth a try, at least if you love soft, chewy caramels and coconut as much as me! As a plus you can serve these to all of your friends, as they are dairy-free, gluten-free and even vegan.
Somehow I love exotic fruits. Coconut, banana, kiwi, pineaple, pomengranate- you name it! It all goes down. Maybe it is my Jamaican mix, or my constant search for sunshine and colours in my everyday life that draws me to them. However, my love for exotic fruits is very well incorporated into these amazingly soft caramels.
Some say it is hard to make caramels. I say it’s not that hard. Trust me! At least after you have tried these soft coconut caramels. But you can’t leave the casserole when you are making soft salted coconut caramels..!
