CARAMEL SEA SALT DARK CHOCOLATE COINS image

Categories     Chocolate     Candy

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 recipe (to taste) sea salt
1 tablespoon (for dusting) cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour about 1 inch of water into the bottom of a saucepan and place over medium-low heat; bring the water to a simmer and turn off the heat. Place a stainless steel bowl over the saucepan. Put the chocolate in the bowl and soften over the hot water.
  • Place the sugar in a small skillet over medium-low heat and cook until it forms a dark liquid and begins to bubble, 7 to 9 minutes. Carefully pour the cream over the caramelized sugar. Cook and stir the mixture until the caramelized sugar is dissolved into the cream; immediately remove from heat.
  • Pour the hot cream mixture over the warmed chocolate; stir quickly with a spatula until completely incorporated.
  • Drop the mixture by the teaspoon onto the prepared baking sheet. Top each portion with a sprinkle of sea salt. Cover with plastic wrap. Gently press a second baking sheet onto the chocolate coins to flatten.
  • Chill in refrigerator until firm. Dust with the cocoa.
