Suffer
from sweaty sea salt caramels? You're not alone. Many candy makers have faced
this common issue and shared possible solutions in the RCI member forum, The Candy
Dish.
When
making sea salt caramels, finishing with high-quality sea salt is best.
However, even with quality salt, storing salted caramels in a cool room with
50% humidity can still cause the salt to sweat or become clear on the caramel. Here are four RCI member tips to prevent similar problems when storing sea salt caramels:
1.
Some salts are harder than others. Use a
harder and more dense salt, such as pink Himalayan sea salt, which is less
likely to absorb moisture.
2.
Store sea salt caramels at room temperature, rather than reducing
the temperature.
3.
Dehumidify your storage area to at least 40%.
4.
Shrink wrap the boxes or cases to completely enclose the product
before storing.
Nobody

caramels dry.
