EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Cajeta is a thick, sweet caramel spread made from caramelized sugar and goat's milk. Cajeta is available at well-stocked grocery stores and at Mexican markets. If unable to locate cajeta, substitute 3/4 cup dulce de leche spread from a 13.4-oz can.

I finally know what the big fuss about salted caramel is! Yummy!!! Really easy recipe. I used the Dulce de leche because my store didn't have the Cajeta.

Holy smokes is this fudge good. The combo of chocolate fudge, creamy sweet cajeta and salty cashews...how could you possibly resist? It's also deceptively easy to make (not that anyone needs to know that). Perfect for holiday gifting or a decadent dessert tray.
