\"Salted<\/p>\n

Over the past year or so of blogging, I’ve come to realize one thing.  I really love baking and creating new things.  While I enjoy cooking and eating healthier, baking is something that I will always love.<\/p>\n

Whenever I’ve had a bad day, I just come home and bake.  It’s something I find so relaxing and a great way for me to be creative.<\/p>\n

\"Salted<\/p>\n

So when I had the opportunity to use these Salted Caramel Almonds, I was excited to get a little creative and make something with them.  I actually already have a container sitting at my desk that I snack on at work.  To say these almonds are addicting is an understatement because they are seriously delicious!<\/p>\n

I wanted to create these into something that was easy, fun and tasted delicious.  So I decided to play around with the caramel idea and make some turtles out of them.<\/p>\n

You’ll start by making clusters of almonds, then top them with some caramel.  Since I wanted these to be easier, I used caramel candies and a little heavy cream for the caramel in this recipe.  Easy, right?  Then top them off with some melted chocolate and a little sea salt.<\/p>\n

\"Salted<\/p>\n

I prefer to use a double boiler when melting the caramel candies and chocolate, but you can certainly use the microwave instead to make it a little easier.  If you do use the microwave, just be sure to microwave in 15-30 second increments and stir well each time.<\/p>\n

The sea salt on top of these is totally optional but definitely recommended.  The combination of sweet and salty in these little bites are absolutely incredible!<\/p>\n
