There’s just something about salted caramel that works. Coarse sea salt seems to be the perfect compliment to the sweetness of caramel. The other day, we wanted a little something sweet to finish off our dinner, and I had a bag of my favorite chocolate chip cookies on hand. I also had our favorite ice cream in the freezer! So…

This post was originally shared with Kenarry:Ideas for the Home, but I was dying to share with you, my own readers!
