  1. My teeth hurt just looking at the pictures. Can’t wait to try these recipes, but which ones first? Salted caramel maple pecan pie bars look wonderful. I can feel sugar detox coming on after the first of the year.

  2. YES!! THIS is the GOOD STUFF. Love all of the salty caramelly variety on view in this gallery of sweet fantasy!

  3. Oh my gosh, (salted) caramel is my guilty pleasure. Seriously, I’d eat it from a jar if it wasn’t so bad for me :’) There’s (almost) nothing with caramel I wouldn’t eat :’)

  4. Oh my goodness – I want it all, Averie! You know I’m not a chocolate fan but salted caramel I can do anytime!

  5. I had my husband read through the round up and pick a recipe. He went with the Oreo s’more bars. Just cut them and they look beautiful and taste delicious! I am mostly a food blog reader lol- not a cook- and I love your blog. Maybe I should try cooking more often

    1. Yes you should try more often, indeed! So glad these came out great for you and that they looked and tasted great! Have a wonderful holiday season and keep baking :)

  6. What a great roundup of delicious caramel recipes..Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving..those chocolate covered caramels may just become some Christmas gifts this year..I’ll have to try out a few first though lol

  7. You have such a variety of delicious recipes in this round up! Caramel just seems to go with everything. I’d have a hard time picking a favorite but the turtle brownies and caramel PB chocolate chip bars are jumping out at me. Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving!

  8. I literally burst out laughing when I saw this. Why you ask… Because I know I’m going to go into a sugar coma trying to make and eat all this caramel and I couldn’t be more excited to try all these recipes!
    Thank you
