These caramels are ready to eat straight from the wrapper. They can be enjoyed as a standalone sweet indulgence after a meal or during a coffee break. For baking, they can be chopped and added to cookie dough, brownie batter, or muffin mixes to provide pockets of melted caramel. They also make a delightful topping for ice cream sundaes or can be melted down to create a warm, luscious caramel sauce for drizzling over cakes, pies, or fruit.

How to keep the rest
To maintain the freshness and texture of any remaining caramels, store them in their original wrappers in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to heat or direct sunlight, which can cause them to soften or melt. Ensure the container is airtight to prevent them from drying out or absorbing unwanted odors.
