Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Cookies

Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Filled Cookies @lovefromtheoven.com

I’ve been wanting to make these cookies for a while but was missing a really important ingredient.  That would be willpower. Dark chocolate, dense cookie, caramel, salt – seriously, how does one resist?   They kind of just call your name.  Or maybe they just call my name? A few weeks ago I was picking up some groceries at Trader Joe’s, trying to mind my own business, and they had these caramel wafer stroopwafel cookies hanging right by the juice boxes on {Read More}

Cajeta Mexican Caramel Sauce Recipe at Love From The Oven

A few weeks ago I shared McCormick’s 2013 Flavor Forecast.  With a number of trends and flavors that we can look for in 2013, I was really drawn to one particular recipe – the Cajeta Sauce With Anise, also known as Mexican Caramel Sauce.   Spiced up caramel sauce?  Sign me up! This recipe ties into a few of the aspects of the Flavor Forecast, including “Global My Way“.    A caramel sauce kicked up with some warmth from spices sounded amazing {Read More}

Salted Caramel Cake Pops

Salted Caramel Cake Pops at Love From The Oven

This is one of those recipes that I actually didn’t intend to share on the website.  I made these for my daughter’s teacher, for her daughter’s birthday.  She mentioned that she liked salted caramel (the glorious goodness that it is), and I thought these would be a fun treat for her 15th Birthday.  I made them late at night so I didn’t take my step by step photos or any do any of my normal “I’m blogging this” type of {Read More}

Salty Sweet Week – Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Brownies

Featured Love From The Oven Pretzel Brownies-7711

One of my absolute flavor combinations is salty and sweet.  It’s hard to beat – almost perfection.    I recently came across these Pretzel Balls from HK Anderson online, and after searching (obsessively) for months, I finally found them.
