These low carb chocolate salted caramel bars are rich in taste and moderate in carbs! It really makes for the perfect treat when your craving a sweet and salty dessert.
The home-made caramel is delicious and can honestly be eaten even alone. The texture isn’t completely perfect but I think it’s pretty close!
I’ve tried this recipe a million and a half different ways, but this version has proven to be the best. It’s a must try!
