Recipe: Dark Chocolate Caramel Almond Candy with Sea Salt

Preparation

1. Lightly butter a cookie sheet or parchment paper on a cookie sheet
2. Sprinkle salted almonds over the cookie sheet, evenly distributed but slightly away from the edges; set aside
3. Slice blackberries so they are coin shaped (one or two slices per berry, depending on size) and add to nuts, sprinkled throughout the pan
4. Put butter and brown sugar in a saucepan
5. Cook together over medium high heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly
6. Continue cooking for 10 minutes, scraping sides and stirring constantly
7. (If desired at about 8 minutes, do the cold water test, where you put a drop of the mixture into a cup of cold water; if it immediately ribbons and will form into a soft ball, it is done)
8. Once done, immediately pour over nuts, covering them all, using a spatula to spread evenly
9. Melt dark chocolate (if using a microwave, it will take 2-3 minutes; check it every 30 seconds and stir so chocolate will not burn)
10. Pour chocolate over cuts and caramel
11. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt
12. Once cooled, simply break apart into pieces
