Coffee Caramels

Coffee caramels

Caramels are much desired the world over and can be made in many different flavors. While vanilla and chocolate are the most popular ones, coffee pairs exceptionally well with the buttery tones of caramel.

The coffee caramels can be wrapped in cellophane as shown in On Baking, or can be dipped in milk or dark chocolate couverture and finished with a touch of fleur de sel, if so desired.

    I had the opportunity to attend a Chocolate class. I enjoyed making the coffee caramel. The coffee caramel have a rich taste that I liked but I think the would have add toasted pecans.

    Dear Chef ~

    I was hoping to get the recipe for the caramels. I see you have it posted above referencing the page and the book (I’m assuming) but, I don’t have the book and I would love to make these! They sound wonderful.
    Is there any way to get the recipe? Many thanks.

    I think this recipe should stay the same way it’s because the soft texture together with the caramel and chocolate make a very good rich taste.

    i really enjoy making filled chocolate. the coffee was a bit much for me, so i will probably stick with a ganache that a bit more subtle.

    We didn’t make the Coffee Caramels in class we did the Chocolate caramels. They were outstanding. I did however notice though that they tended to get grainy after a couple of days.

    The day we made these the thermometer my group used was not functioning properly, and so the caramel boiled at too high a temperature which resulted in our caramel becoming rock hard.

    Coffee Caramels were very tasty. Didnt stick to the roof of your mouth and melted nicely. Coffee was a little overpowering but the flavors worked well together.

    “A chewy caramel that does not stick to teeth”; that in itself makes it delicious before even having tasted it. I do enjoy salted caramel, so I may try it with that. And it seems a good idea to top it with pretzel bit for that extra salted bit instead of just using salted caramel.
