Roundy's Caramelettes Dark Chocolate
What it is
These are small, individually wrapped candies featuring a chewy caramel center enrobed in dark chocolate. The dark chocolate provides a richer, less sweet flavor profile compared to milk chocolate. The caramel is soft and pliable, offering a satisfying chew with each bite. They are designed for easy sharing and portion control, making them a convenient treat for various occasions.

- Include in candy dishes
- Add to dessert platters
Simply unwrap one or more Caramelettes and enjoy them as they are. They are best eaten at room temperature to experience the full texture of the caramel and the smooth melt of the dark chocolate. For a slightly different experience, you could briefly chill them for a firmer bite, though this will alter the caramel's chewiness. They are a straightforward indulgence, requiring no preparation beyond unwrapping.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to milk chocolate caramels, these use dark chocolate, which has a more intense cocoa flavor and less sweetness. The caramel itself is typically consistent, but the chocolate's bitterness creates a more complex taste. They are also smaller and individually wrapped, making them distinct from larger chocolate bars or bulk candies.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a small, rich, and satisfying chocolate and caramel confection will enjoy these.
How to keep the rest
Store any remaining Caramelettes in their original wrappers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the wrappers are sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the chocolate from melting or the caramel from hardening. They should be kept at a consistent temperature to preserve their intended texture and flavor.
