Five words. Pink. Himalayan. Sea. Salt. Caramels. BOOM!

Welcome to the rest of your life. I am just going to let you take a moment to look at that photo and just imagine how much more awesome it would be to eat one of those. It is worth every minute of preparation. No joke. But in all seriousness, my mother-in-law shared this recipe with me when we got married. It was passed down from her mom and they make these caramels every year for Christmas. I have to be honest though, these babies are guaranteed to make you some friends. Why stop at Christmas? How about making them once a month?
