Salted Caramel Cashew Bark
I told you yesterday when I introduced you to the Sea Salt Caramels that we would be doing something special with them today, and… ta da!
A couple of weeks ago I met a friend of mine for lunch and mentioned that after lunch I was heading to the mall. She asked if I hit up the Godiva store when I go, and I realized that I really don’t. I had only been in there once with another girlfriend who had stopped in to buy chocolate-covered strawberries. Well, she planted the seed and there was no way I was going to walk by Godiva without stopping in that day. And so a couple of hours later I strolled by and jumped right in. They were running a special on the chocolate in their display case where you could buy three or four and get one free, or something to that effect. So I went to work deciding on what I would sample… I picked up a couple of truffles and then saw a salted caramel and cashew bark. It was a no-brainer. You could get it in milk or dark chocolate, and I went straight for the milk. I held out until the car ride home, and then dug in. I was immediately smitten and knew instantaneously that I would need to recreate it at home as soon as possible.

I love how the warm chocolate makes the salted caramels a little melty – they get a little gooey and become one with the chocolate. Sublime, I tell you.
Making chocolate bark is one of my all-time favorite treats. They are especially great around the holidays, but as my recent mall trip proved – amazing chocolate bark is meant to be enjoyed year-round. So I hope you don’t wait until the snow falls to give some bark a try! (Although I always reserve my peppermint bark for Christmas!)

- ½ cup (146 g) chopped sea salt caramels
- ½ cup (68.5 g) salted cashews

- 1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- 2. Using a double boiler or in a microwave in 30-second increments at 50% power, melt the chocolate until smooth.

Delicious! Wouldn’t this be lovely during the holidays?
I’ve collected all your caramel recipes now and plan to make them for Christmas gifts. Thanks for the inspiration! I can’t wait to taste them. Of course, I’ll have to make a trial batch first…
Although, I prefer dark over milk chocolate…I must admit milk-chocolate always delivers a sugar hit when you need it! The barks look absolutely gorgeous…and more importantly, utterly satisfying.
The bars look so easy to make and what a treat to have! Yum..
What a perfect combination of sweet and salty, I could eat a whole pound of this!
Genius! Caramels, chocolate and cashews? A trifecta of yumminess!
this looks delicious. love the addition of using yummy caramels!
Oh, I love caramel with cashews… This looks absolutely incredible!
I’ve never bought Godiva because I thought it was kind of pricey. However, with recipes like yours around, who needs them? Thank you for sharing this with us :-) Have an awesome weekend!
Who needs to shop at Godiva when you can make this! It looks amazing and just happens to contain three of my favourite things.
P.S. Am I on your Christmas List by and chance :)
Michelle, I saw these earlier and had to come back for a second look. You’ve done a superb job here – from the inspiration at Godiva, to the salted caramel recipe. Than you for sharing. Brava!
I’m about to leave for the mall and may now have to stop at Godiva as well :) Your bark looks divine, I could eat this any time of the year!
these look perfect, just absolutely perfect :)
To Die For!!! This looks like the perfect thing to make and give away at Christmas!
That sounds really good with the cashews in it.
Oh wow – this looks really tasty and the combination or ingredients are some of my favs! Well done. buzzed ya!
I was in a chocolate mood today too! Your bark looks awesome! I love chocolate and nuts, yummm!
Yum!!! Chocolate+caramel+cashews sounds absolutely delicious!
Well, I’ve never been a big fan of bark, but I have to say that this looks way too good not to try myself. Chocolate, caramel and cashews? What a great combination. You may have just made a bark convert.
Looks amazing, I can’t wait to try it.
Thanks for your post:-)
I adore anything with salted caramel…throw in chocolate and you don’t get much better. Love the idea of using cashews too…a little bit different from your usual peanut or pecan combination. Yum yum yum!
Oh wow! I love this combination of flavors. Great recipe.
I was wondering as well what brand chocolate you use? I usually use a cheaper quality chocolate when I make bark simply because I put so many other flavors in with it, but I would LOVE to find a different option.
Hi Michele, I usually use Ghiradelli for everything, with the exception of white chocolate. I love Lindt’s white chocolate, so if I’m using a large amount of white, I’ll use Lindt.
Oh this flavor combo sounds yummy and pretty easy!
Do you have a favorite chocolate to use?
Hi Angela, I usually use Ghiradelli.
Your on a roll this week! All these wonderful chocolate treats, fudges and barks! I need to book mark this! My husband would love it!!! I also saw you made Peppermint Bark, thats my favorite!! My Christmas treat to me!! By the way I love your photographs.
This looks lovely. Bark is such a fun recipe to make!
This bark looks fantastic, especially since I adore the combination of salted caramel and chocolate!
This combination of flavors sounds really good. Salt and chocolate taste so good together…adding the salted cashews gives this the perfect texture. Your pictures just made me crave this!
