Compared to standard caramels, these have a more complex flavor profile due to the addition of dark chocolate and coffee. The bitterness of the chocolate and the roasted notes of the coffee balance the sweetness of the caramel, creating a more sophisticated taste. The texture is typically smooth and slightly firm, not overly sticky.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining caramels in their original wrappers in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and heat, which can cause them to melt or become sticky. If stored properly, they will maintain their texture and flavor for an extended period.
