Roasted White Chocolate

Sure, you can buy caramelized white chocolate—often labeled blond chocolate—but it's far more fun to make it yourself. Just roast a white chocolate bar at a low temperature, and watch as its sugars and milk solids caramelize, becoming imbued with toasty butterscotch flavor. This recipe first appeared in our 2015 SAVEUR 100.
