Let’s get to the recipe already!
BUT FIRST! Let me go over how they were made, and why these Vegan Hawaiian Black Salt Caramel Cookies are the exact cookie you’ve been missing in your life!
…. First the chocolate – Mylk chocolate is their vegan version of dairy-based chocolate without the dairy! The “mylk” comes from rice powder to create a wonderful creamy and smooth texture.
…. And the caramel – with extreme care and patience! They cook all the ingredients in a big copper kettle until they get the perfect golden colour, chewy texture, and amazing taste.
…. And what truly makes these chocolates unique – The Black Salt! – Using a traditional Hawaiian process, Hawaiian Black Salt is made by harvesting sea salt from the waters surrounding the Hawaiian islands and is then infused in activated coconut shell charcoal. This process gives it its wonderful colour and earthy flavour.
Now that you know all about these Vegan Black Salt Hawaiian Caramel Cookies, let’s get into the recipe so you can make them for yourself!
