Step 1

Line a 8″x8″ baking dish with parchment paper (make sure to line the sides!). Set aside.

Step 2

In a large saucepan on high heat, bring the cream to a slight boil. Then add the chocolate, stirring until it melts. Turn heat to low and stir until mixture thickens. Turn off heat, set aside.

Step 3

In another large saucepan, bring sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt to a boil. Keep at a boil, swirling occasionally, until sugar turns dark brown, about 10 minutes.

Step 4

Next, insert a candy thermometer into pan. Pour in the chocolate mixture. Continue to boil for about 15 minutes, until the thermometer registers 255°F. It must reach this heat before being taken out, or your candies will come out fudge-y and not caramel-y. Add the butter, stirring until melted. Immediately pour into the glass baking dish. Let the caramel cool for 10 minutes, then sprinkle on salt. Cool in refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Cut and serve. Nom nom nom.
