Sanders Holiday Bourbon Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels
What it is
These are rich, chewy caramels enrobed in dark chocolate. They are infused with the warm, complex flavor of bourbon, and finished with flakes of sea salt. The combination of sweet, salty, and slightly boozy notes creates a sophisticated treat. Each caramel is individually wrapped, making them perfect for sharing or enjoying one at a time. The dark chocolate provides a pleasant bitterness that balances the sweetness of the caramel.

Enjoy these caramels straight from the wrapper as a sweet ending to a meal or a midday pick-me-up. They can also be used to elevate desserts. Try melting them slightly to drizzle over ice cream or brownies. For a more elaborate touch, incorporate them into homemade cookies or bars, allowing the bourbon and sea salt notes to meld with other flavors. Their distinct taste also makes them a welcome addition to a cheese board, offering a sweet contrast to savory elements.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining caramels in their original wrappers in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight or heat, which can cause the chocolate to melt or the caramel to become sticky. An airtight container is ideal for keeping them at their best.
