How it differs from similar foods
Compared to milk chocolate caramels, these offer a more intense cocoa flavor due to the dark chocolate. The addition of sea salt provides a distinct savory note that balances the sweetness, which is often more pronounced in milk chocolate versions. The texture of the caramel itself is typically consistent across similar products.
Who it is for
Anyone looking for a sophisticated and satisfying sweet indulgence will appreciate these caramels.
How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and texture, store any remaining caramels in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep them in their original wrappers to prevent them from drying out or absorbing odors. They should be kept in an airtight container if the original packaging is no longer suitable.
