VANILLA EXTRACT:
- We use vanilla extract because it enhances the sweet caramel flavor and aroma.
GROUND CINNAMON:
- Ground cinnamon adds a warm, cozy flavor to the bark. Instead, you can use nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice.
SEA SALT:
- We include sea salt because it boosts the flavor overall and counteracts the sweetness. As a replacement, you can use Himalayan pink salt or kosher salt.
XANTHAN GUM:
- Xanthan gum helps thicken and stabilize the caramel coating. As a substitute, you can omit it or use a small pinch of guar gum.
