They can also be melted down gently to create a caramel sauce for drizzling over ice cream or cakes. Their small size makes them easy to incorporate into recipes where you want a concentrated burst of flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain caramels, these caramelettes stand out due to the addition of sea salt. This saltiness cuts through the sweetness of the caramel, offering a more complex flavor profile. They are also typically softer and chewier than some hard caramels.

How to keep the rest
Store any remaining caramelettes in their original wrappers in a cool, dry place. Ensure the bag or container is sealed tightly to prevent them from drying out or absorbing moisture, which could affect their chewy texture. Avoid direct sunlight and heat.
