We did a happy dance when we saw the words "salted," "caramel," "hazelnut," and "chocolate" all in one recipe title. Angie Dudley from the Bakerella blog uses two unusual products that make her cookies stand out: salted caramel hazelnut spread and jumbo semisweet chocolate pieces – the latter gives you "melty chocolate," she says, "in every warm little…or big bite."

We love salty popcorn, but when you add a sweet component? It becomes more than just a snack – it becomes everything. 12 Tomatoes's caramel corn recipe switches out corn syrup for maple syrup – genius.

If the only pudding you've ever made came out of a box – no shame, but consider upgrading to this dream dessert.

We never thought of a baked doughnut as a “cupcake with a hole in it” until Jonathan described it that way on his Candid Appetite blog. After baking chocolate doughnuts, he iced them with salted caramel glaze, then dipped each in a bowl of chopped pretzels for a crunchy finish.

She tweaks hers with vanilla bean paste, which she says "really amps up the fragrance." We're ready, rubber ducky and all.

Even diehard fans of traditional Rice Krispies Treats will be singing the praises of this version made with homemade salted caramel. "You can make these in, like, 15 minutes tops," says Kate from Our Best Bites, "and then if you freeze them, you're never more than 30 minutes away from salty/caramel-y/crispy/chewy/perfect texture-y goodness." Now that's a cool tip!
