Ah, Mandy’s Old Fashioned Confections . Just look at that charming packaging, how it speaks of artisans stirring a copper kettle of gooey butterscotch with a wooden paddle.

Tunnocka s Caramel Milk Chocolate Wafer
Tunnock’s is a Scottish biscuit company located in Uddingston , Scotland. They make a wide variety of baked goods but those in North America are probably most familiar with their teacakes and their Tunnock’s Caramel Bar .
The history of caramel
The history of caramel is neither old, nor complicated. Settlers were cooking sugar and water together to create hard candies as early as the 17th century.

Caramel Chex Mix
I love this recipe. It is simple and always a crowd pleaser! Make sure to pick up a brown grocery bag in the checkout line when making this! I most often use rice chex, but I am sure over chex flavors would work well too. I made this for my wedding to give out in bags as favors…It was a hit! — posted by Chef #1043754

Candy Review: Le Caramel
I should be ashamed of how quickly my household polished off Le Caramel’s caramel topping, caramel syrup, and caramel candies. But, it’s too good to feel bad about it. Granted, I think we finished a 14 oz jar of caramel topping in about one week, but hey, I took one for the team- to help you make good candy decisions. I know, I know… I do what I can.
I’m no gourmet caramel connoisseur, but, this was much better than your run-of-the-mill caramel. It was thick, creamy, and decadent. All of Le Caramel’s products are fantastic. I tried to put the salted butter caramel topping on anything I could find. I put it in my coffee, on ice cream, and on apple pie with ice cream. All were excellent ideas. I didn’t have any ice cream on hand (a crime in and of itself) so I bought some specifically for this caramel. I didn’t cheap out because I felt this caramel deserved the best vanilla bean, name-brand stuff. Crazy delicious!
The caramel syrup delivered, too. It found a nice home in my morning lattes and I was left with an empty bottle rather quickly. The individually-wrapped caramels are buttery, with just the right amount of salt. They melt in your mouth and would have made a NC State Fair caramel apple “Granny-Smith-apple-green” with envy.
I wondered what could make this caramel so much better than the other caramels I’ve tasted, so I investigated a bit. I don’t usually pay too much attention to what a company has to say about their own products, because, let’s face it, there’s a wee bit of understandable and expected bias inherent in self-promotion. But, this was different because I was really curious. According to Le Caramel, it handcrafts the caramel using a traditional Normandy recipe that was handed down to them by the best caramel makers. The careful preparation results in a remarkably accurate tag-line of “Le Caramel : It’s the way caramel should taste.” Mystery solved, I guess! (No, I kid. There’s actually a bit of information about their process on Le Caramel’s website, if you’re an interested foodie.) Whatever you do, do yourself a favor and get some of this caramel. You won’t be disappointed!
