I took preparations for the big storm that (was supposed to) hit the PNW over the weekend very seriously. At Fred Meyer, before grabbing a few things that could be eaten without heating, replacing one of our emergency flashlights and picking up a couple of candles, I headed straight to the baking isle so that I could hurry home to bake up some cookies that would aid in our survival.

After looking over the many options, I decided to choose something a little different—I grabbed these Hershey’s Kitchens Sea Salt Caramel Chips. Let me tell you, they do not disappoint! I love their sweet and salty essence.

 
Thinking back on the storm, I can say with all honesty that they were the most helpful thing I purchased in my emergency preparedness. Thank you, Hershey’s! Though I suppose I’m happy that we now have those other emergency items for the coming season.

I used the recipe on the back of the package for Sea Salt Caramel Chip Chocolate Cookies when I whipped up these cookies and I’m glad I did—it’s a great little recipe. It’s kind of similar to the REESE’S Chewy Chocolate Cookies with Peanut Butter Chips Recipe (what’s with the long cookie titles? Are all cookie titles long? Is this a thing and I’m just now noticing?), but I like the Sea Salt one better. I think it would be quite tasty with chopped almonds and white chocolate chips, so I’ll be Pinning that recipe for another time.

 
Since the power didn’t go out (the kiddos were hoping for that!), we decided to pretend some electricity loss and ate the cookies in candlelight before sending the little turkeys off to bed. They thought it was rad! Also, I may or may not have enjoyed one while getting some authorial work done later that evening.

The Sea Salt Caramel Chips were in the Holiday Baking Section at my local Fred Meyer and I’d guess that you’d find them at your local grocery as well. Let me know if you make them and Happy Baking!
