This is one of those times I’m praising heaven for good internet service. Not because I am currently basking in it, because I’m actually not. I’m sitting in the front lobby of a little motel-hotel (it’s somewhere in the middle) in Williamsburg Virginia barely managing to connect to cyberspace, because although this motel-hotel supposedly has free wi-fi, it’s quite lacking in the actually guest rooms. In fact, all of the cell service here seems to have vanished into thin air as far as the rooms are concerned. No bars. Can you believe that? I thought that only happened when we went camping. But here I am sitting on a 70’s green couch punching out a recipe for salted caramel chocolate cups and thinking about how wonderful it is that back home I can usually do this from my bed. Modern Technology, I’m a fan of you. Another modern convenience I’m currently crushing on is my microwave <— those little asterisks are actually bits of fairy dust, my microwave has magical powers. Like the ability to turn leftovers into a first-class meal at the end of an incredibly long week. I cook. A-lot. But sometimes leftovers are the best thing in the whole world when I’m famished and haven’t an ounce of motivation to make so much as a turkey sandwich. The other thing making me admire that old black and chrome box on my counter? These salted caramel cups. How are they related you ask? These ultra-rich little treats are made with two things, 1) your microwave, and 2) your freezer. And really the freezer is just a means to speeding up the cooling process which technically would happen without the freezer if you were patient enough (which I’m obviously not) so really all of the credit should go to your microwave on this one. And the fact that these caramel cups only call for 4 little ingredients is just mind boggling to me. 4 Ingredients? Seriously?? Stop it, you’re pulling my leg! No really. Just 4. It’s magic. <— yep, more fairy dust. Recipe adapted from Yammie’s Noshery.
