Signature Flavors
The two caramels I make year-round.
Sea Salt is my best seller for a reason. Vanilla + Toasted Almond is the original flavor, inspired by my great-grandmother Edith's recipe from the 1930s.

A Family Recipe, Passed Down
These caramels began in my great-grandmother Edith’s kitchen in the 1930s.
For years, they were made only for holidays — wrapped by hand and shared with friends and family.
What started as a tradition is now a small business built on the same idea: make something thoughtful, and share it.

Frequently asked questions
-
I make my caramels by hand in small batches using a longtime family recipe and simple ingredients like cream, butter, sugar, and vanilla. They’re known for their soft, buttery texture — never sticky or overly chewy — and are made to feel thoughtful, comforting, and easy to share.
-
Absolutely. I pack each order by hand, and the caramels have become a favorite for birthdays, thank-yous, client gifts, dinner parties, holidays, and everyday surprises. They’re an easy, thoughtful gift that immediately brings a little joy — whether you’re sending a box across the country or setting it out on the table to share.
-
Yes — my caramels are gluten free and made with simple ingredients. Seasonal flavors can vary slightly, so I always recommend checking the individual product descriptions for details.
-
Because my caramels are made with simple ingredients and no preservatives, I’m especially careful about shipping during the warmer summer months. Most orders ship on Mondays and Tuesdays to help avoid packages sitting in hot warehouses or delivery trucks over the weekend. During extreme heatwaves, shipping may be temporarily paused to protect quality — and I’ll always communicate any delays clearly on the website.
