Vegan Sea Salt Caramels

I don’t know if you’ve ever had Vegan Sea Salt Caramels but these homemade ones are simply the best. I am not a huge fan of caramels but these are hard to stop eating. I am doing a candy making demo for Lilly’s school PTA and I wanted to created something that is not too pretentious. I was surprised at  how simple these are to cook and I can’t wait to show everyone how to make them. You can save yourself  a lot of time by purchasing pre cut wax paper wrappers.
