They are designed for enjoyment as a standalone dessert or a sweet indulgence.

Simply unwrap and enjoy. These caramels are best served at room temperature to allow the caramel to be soft and yielding. For a more decadent experience, they can be slightly warmed and drizzled over ice cream or used as a component in baked goods. Their rich flavor makes them a versatile addition to sweet preparations, offering a balance of sweet, salty, and bitter notes from the dark chocolate.

How to keep the rest
