These Caramel Delites with Sea Salt combine three simple elements - buttery shortbread, rich homemade caramel, and flaky sea salt - to create an irresistible treat. The key to success is patience: take your time with the caramel and allow proper cooling before cutting. Follow these steps for perfect results every time.

    For a chocolate variation, try drizzling or dipping the cooled caramel squares in melted dark chocolate before adding the sea salt. You can also experiment with different salts like smoked sea salt or pink Himalayan salt for unique flavor profiles.
