Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegan butter (room temperature )
  • ⅓ cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 cup all purpose gluten-free baking flour (or 1:1)
  • ½ cup vegan butter
  • 11oz can coconut sweetened condensed milk
  • ¼ cup organic brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 2 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 cup chopped vegan chocolate (or chocolate chips)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • flaky sea salt (for topping)

Directions

    Preheat the oven to 350 F° and prepare a 8x8 inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

  2. 2

    Place the caramel ingredients into a heavy medium sized pot over medium-high heat and stir to combine. Stir frequently and using a candy thermometer, cook until the temperature reaches 260 F° or "hard ball" stage. This process takes about 12-15 mintues.
