We’ve released Strawberry Eclair and Strawberry Cheesecake Eclair, but since we had extra caramel sauce from our From Scratch Week, we thought – why not try a caramel version?
We’re big foodies, so we keep up with new snacks to see if we can create anything with them. When Chessman released a Salted Caramel cookie, instead of using graham crackers, that’s what we went with!
We also wanted to make a smaller version so if one of us wants a dessert at work, we can just grab it and go. That’s how we came up with our Mini Caramel Eclair.
It’s as delicious as it sounds, and I can’t wait for you to try it. It’s the perfect mix of creamy, crunchy, and caramel goodness!
