Salted Caramel Kisses
This tasty treat was inspired by the naturally caramel-like flavour of ghee. This “caramel” is untraditional in nature, given there is no sugar but you’ll see that the combination of ghee, creamy cashew butter and mesquite powder give it the perfect texture and flavour. And flakey sea salt really elevates it and makes these Salted Caramel Kisses a treat you’ll always want to have in your fridge!

Notes
- Sugar Free Option: To make it sugar free, replace the coconut sugar with an erythritol based sweetener.
- Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that forms the base of many granular “sugar free sweeteners”. Read more about what erythritol is here, including my product recommendations. The use of erythritol in this recipe is what makes it low-carb and/or keto friendly. Read more about sugar and my philosophy here.
