I love caramel chocolates, and recently bought some Magnum ice creams which were salted caramel flavour - yeuk! Now everything seems to be 'salted' caramel - why do they do this and when did it start becoming the in thing?
I agree lankeela, it really irritates me. Think it became the rage about 3 or 4 years ago (pure guess) and now it seems to be all you can get. I was given some expensive salted caramel chocolates for Mother's day, they are literally like Rolos that have been covered in salt. Not nice.
I've not yet had any salted caramel where I can taste salt in the caramel. I've got fed up with trying and being disappointed, I just stick to plain caramel now.
Salt caramel, salt liqorice, touch of sea-salt on Charentais melon. All delicious. If you don't like salt, just try cooking without it; no salt in the boiling water for spuds, carrots, cabbage, pasta etc. I never add salt to cooking; that way you can taste the vegetables, not the universal saltiness which seems to be everyone's addiction. When I need a salt hit I go for crisps or peanuts or soy sauce or anchovy.
tigger I had some popcorn probably a couple of years ago at a village fete and spat it out - I couldn't remember it tasting so bad before but if it was salted popcorn that would explain it!
We all have different tastes I guess. Weirdly, I'm not keen on Chinese sweet and sour but sweet and salty I like. I've been known to eat a packet of ready salted with a bar of chocolate and also cheese and jam toasted sandwiches.
cashier the double caramel are wonderful, but my favourite is the ruby ones. In Sweden a couple of years ago we had some raspberry ones but I've not found them over here yet.
It’s taking over from real caramel chocolate and that’s just ridiculous, it’s the Batak Obama of chocolate, fails in every level and makes you want to vomit
I had a nasty shock when the caramel chocolate in my box was salted. Wont buy those again! Hopefully its a fad. I know some people like it but not in my box of chocs, thanks.
