Today’s new candy for VeganMoFo is Vegan Salted Caramels. Corn Syrup-Free, might I add…

I’m not one for being the most healthy. I mean, I try my best to maintain a reasonably sensible diet but there are days where all I want to eat are potato chips and beer. And I do. Yet I’m stopped at the thought of making vegan caramels when I hear that corn syrup is the main ingredient. I’ve read enough to know that it’s not the best for your body however who am I to label it bad when I can down fistfuls of salty fried potatoes?

Regardless, I wanted to create a recipe that was sans corn syrup, partly because I wanted to prove that I could do it but also because I know that it’s a concern for a lot of others to stay away from the sticky, yet sweet stuff derived from corn. Just don’t be surprised if you see a candy recipe that has corn syrup over here–it’s bound to happen. So here you go: a vegan caramel recipe that doesn’t suck!
