Now let's start baking!

The salted caramel

1. In a heavy bottomed saucepan, heat the sugar over a medium heat. Make sure to use a saucepan that's slighty bigger than what you think you'll need. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved. Be careful not to burn the sugar!
2. While the sugar is melting, warm up the double cream in a small pot and leave aside.
3. Remove the saucepan with sugar from the heat when the sugar has an amber/light brown colour. Slowly add the warm double cream - but be careful as the sugar will be really hot! While you add the cream, the mixture will bubble up (again, be careful!). Add the butter and salt, one at the time, and stir until all ingredients are mixed.
4. Pour the caramel souce into a serving dish and allow to cool. The caramel will thinken once it has cooled.

 Chocolate waffles

1. In a heat proof bowl above a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and butter (au bain marie). You can also melt in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Take a larger bowl and mix the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt.
3. Add the egg and milk and mix all ingredients.
4. Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture. Stir until all ingredients are mixed.
5. Pour to batter onto your waffle iron and bake according to the manufacturar's instructions.
6. Chop the marshmallows into small cubes and slice the waffle into 2 parts. Present one layer of waffle with chopped marshmallows on and add another layer of waffle and marshmallows. Serve with salted caramel and whipped cream (optional) on the side.
