The packaging helps keep them fresh and makes them easy to share or take on the go.
How people cook with it
Caramel candies are a popular treat for satisfying a sweet craving. They can also be used in various dessert preparations.
- Enjoy as a simple sweet treat
- Add to cookie dough
- Melt for a caramel sauce
- Decorate cakes and cupcakes
These caramels are primarily enjoyed as a standalone sweet. Simply unwrap one and let it melt in your mouth for a burst of creamy, buttery flavor. For more elaborate uses, they can be gently melted in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, to create a smooth caramel sauce. This sauce is excellent for drizzling over ice cream, dipping fruit, or as a filling for baked goods. They can also be chopped and added to cookie dough or brownie batter before baking for pockets of melted caramel throughout.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to hard caramels, these are soft and chewy, offering a different mouthfeel and a quicker melt. Their flavor profile is distinctly creamy and buttery, setting them apart from caramels made with different fat sources or flavorings. The individual wrapping ensures consistent texture and flavor in every piece.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their soft texture and fresh flavor, store any remaining caramels in their original, unopened packaging or in an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in humid conditions, as this can cause them to stick together.
