Last week Joey and I received this tweet from a new company located in Salem Massachusetts, about their new  sea salt product line. This Recipe had already been swirling in my head after a friend of my mother’s recently shared with her a box of Caramel Sea Salt Fudge. My mother simply can not stop talking about how delicious this fudge tastes, and keeps nagging me to make It for the holidays. I finally sampled a piece and she was right! The wheels in my head began to swirl and I added it to my running list of recipes to create for my family and friends this year. A few days latter my brother Joey and I receive this tweet “AtlanticSaltworks‏@AtlanticSalt @SistaFelicia we are excited for everyone, incl. you and @Joey_C to try it! Will be on its way to your table via USPS this week…enjoy!.” I couldn’t wait for their product sample to arrive and I knew exactly what I was going to make first with their sea salt sample.

When the samples arrived, I went straight to my kitchen to create my own version  incorporating my family’s love for sea salt caramels and chocolate fudge together to create “The Ultimate”  of all confections”. The results far surpassed my expectations and turned out to be a five star recipe perfect for the upcoming holiday season. If your looking for a new holiday candy to gift or bring to a cookie swap, this is the recipe for you.
