Our latest find was Maple Honey Caramels by Sweet Revolution. Why taste this particular caramel? Honestly? Because of its packaging and because we were quite skeptical about the unusual combination of maple syrup and honey, two competing condiments. Our comments are below.
WHAT WE LIKED BEST:
1) The packaging alone wins approval; the red sealing wax stamp is charming and gives the product an authentic artisanal look.
2) These caramels are not delicate. More firm and substantial than your regular homemade variety.
3) Not saccharine sweet like most maple syrup candy; honey is nicely floral. Combined with the buttery undertone the three ingredients balance each other out.
4) Chewy and sticky, but does not actually stick to your teeth.
5) Nice salty finish.
WORTH IT OR NOT?
Worth the splurge. For $20 dollars you get 12 individually
hand-wrapped, succulent, USDA-stamped organic caramels all tucked
away in a rustically decorated cardboard box. Perfect gift for
gourmands of all ages.
