Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Oz Good-quality dark chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 Cup Heavy cream
  • 1 Tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 1/4 Cup Prepared salted caramel sauce (store bought or homemade)
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Melt Chocolate:
    Stovetop: Place chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and butter in a small saucepan over very low heat. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
    Microwave: Combine chopped chocolate, heavy cream, and butter in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  • Swirl in Caramel: Remove from heat. Gently swirl in the salted caramel sauce, but don't overmix. You want beautiful streaks of caramel throughout the chocolate. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for an extra touch.
  • Serve Warm: Serve warm alongside your churros for the ultimate sweet-salty dipping experience.

Notes

Serving Suggestions: Dip classic churros, cinnamon-sugar churros, or even salted caramel churros (if you made them!) for a play on this flavor combination.
Storage Guidance: Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Rewarm gently before serving.
Recipe Notes:
  • Chocolate Choice: Using dark chocolate balances the sweetness of the salted caramel.
  • Salted Caramel: Adjust the amount of salted caramel sauce to your desired level of sweetness and caramel flavor.
  • Warm Caramel: Warming the salted caramel sauce slightly before swirling will help it blend more easily into the chocolate.
