Somewhere along the line, Brisbane got the memo that salted caramel was an exceptional addition to just about everything.
From obvious choices (like cronuts and brownies), to the more unusual (milkshakes and cocktails), to the downright creative (chicken and dumplings), there are enough new salted caramel delights around town to take you from a salty-sweet breakfast right through to dinner.
Here are our pick of Brisbane's best salted caramel delights.

The Salted Caramel Pina Colada
Alfred and Constance | Fortitude Valley

Salted Caramel And Peanut Butter Milkshake
Shady Palms | Stones Corner

Salted Caramel Popcorn Chicken
Tomahawk Bar and Kitchen | Southbank
Nothing confuses the taste buds more than chicken with caramel… Except chicken with salted caramel at Tomahawk Bar and Kitchen! The morsels of sweet and savoury goodness are one of those “don’t knock it ‘til you try it” dishes that will leave you wondering why you agreed to only order one serving…
Salted Caramel Scroll
Red Hill Markets | Red Hill
America takes pride in their cinnamon scrolls, so of course Red Hill Markets have found a way to one up the traditional scroll by salted-caramelising it. The salted caramel scroll can only be found at the Red Hill Markets on a Sunday, so the added exclusivity makes the experience extra special.
