If I had to pick a desert island dessert, these very well may be it. Two perennial favorites (chai tea and caramel) combine for a sweet that is both over-the-top decadent and comforting at the same time. Chewy, well-spiced, and sweet, but never cloying (thanks to a heavy-handed dusting of fleur de sel), these are easily the best thing to come out of my prolific kitchen in months.
Yes, making caramels is a time-intensive proposition, but with this recipe, it's a near foolproof procedure, provided you use a candy thermometer
