• 1 egg yolk
• 1½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 8 prepackaged caramel candies, unwrapped (make sure they are soft like the ones listed above)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Add chocolate and butter to a microwave safe medium sized bowl and heat in intervals of 20 seconds stirring after each heating until completely melted and smooth.
3. Next whisk in all-purpose flour and confectioner's sugar until batter is smooth.
4. Lastly, whisk in two eggs and egg yolk and vanilla extract until the batter is well blended.
5. Using 4 (6 ounce) ramekins that have been sprayed with non-stick spray, fill each ramekin half way with cake batter. Next add two unwrapped caramels into each ramekin then sprinkle with sea salt (about a ⅛-1/4 teaspoon per cake depending on how much salty flavor you want). Spoon remaining cake batter over each cake.
6. Bake cakes for 12-14 minutes then remove from oven.
