Instructions

  1. Mix all ingredients in a large microwave safe bowl (the mixture will bubble up so make sure there is lots of room in the bowl).
  2. Microwave on high for 6-7 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds.
  3. Pour into a small buttered dish and allow to cool completely. Cut into small squares.
  4. If desired, drizzle with chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt.

Note: This mixture gets VERY hot. Ensure there are no children underfoot when you make this.

Notes

  • This was cooked in a 1000W microwave at 6 minutes and produced a soft yet chewy caramel.
  • Nutrition calculated without salt or chocolate garnish.
