How we make these products

Our Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels follow the same exacting process as our dark chocolate version, but the milk chocolate coating creates an entirely different flavor experience. The caramel itself is identical—slow-cooked to achieve deep amber color and complex sweetness through the Maillard reaction—but the Felchlin Swiss milk chocolate adds a layer of creamy, mellow richness that makes this version more approachable for those who find dark chocolate too intense.

We hand-form each caramel using silicone molds and temperature-controlled cooling tables, achieving the "stand-up" shape with perfectly straight sides that marks professional confectionery work. The caramels are popped from their molds just before enrobing, so the milk chocolate seals against slightly tacky caramel and maintains that clean geometric shape. The finishing touch is fleur de sel—hand-harvested French sea salt with a delicate mineral character that brightens the sweetness without overwhelming the milk chocolate's gentle flavor.

How We Make Our Caramels:

  • Small-batch cooking with real butter, heavy cream, and pure vanilla creates deep, complex caramel flavor
  • Hand-molded in silicone forms on temperature-controlled tables for the signature stand-up shape with straight sides
  • Fully enrobed in premium Felchlin Swiss milk chocolate—creamy, smooth, and never too sweet
  • Topped with fleur de sel sea salt from France, adding mineral complexity and delicate crunch
  • The same careful process as our dark chocolate version, but with a sweeter, more approachable chocolate coating
  • Soft, chewy texture that yields easily without sticking to teeth

Product FAQs

How should I store milk chocolate sea salt caramels?
Store in a cool, dry place between 60-70°F in an airtight container. Milk chocolate is more sensitive to heat than dark chocolate, so keep these away from warm spots in your kitchen. Avoid refrigeration—the humidity can cause chocolate bloom (white streaks) and the cold hardens the caramel. A wine refrigerator set to 55-60°F is ideal if your home runs warm.

What is the shelf life of Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels?
Our caramels stay fresh for 4-6 weeks when stored properly. The chocolate coating acts as a moisture barrier to preserve the caramel inside. Check the "best by" date on your box. For optimal texture and flavor, enjoy within the first month.

What's the difference between the milk chocolate and dark chocolate versions?
The caramel inside is identical—same recipe, same process. The difference is the chocolate coating. Dark chocolate has a more intense, slightly bitter edge that contrasts sharply with the sweet caramel and salty finish. Milk chocolate is creamier and sweeter, creating a more harmonious, mellow experience. Many customers prefer the milk chocolate version if they find dark chocolate too strong.

Are these caramels a good gift?
Absolutely. The milk chocolate version is our most universally appealing caramel because it suits a broader range of palates—kids, adults who prefer sweeter treats, and anyone who gravitates toward milk chocolate. Available in 15-piece and 25-piece boxes, they're elegant enough for any occasion without requiring additional wrapping.

What wine pairs well with milk chocolate sea salt caramels?
The creaminess of milk chocolate pairs beautifully with lighter dessert wines. Try a Moscato d'Asti, late-harvest Riesling, or cream sherry. For Texas Hill Country wines, an off-dry Viognier or sparkling Blanc du Bois complements the caramel's sweetness. If you prefer red, a lighter Grenache or fruit-forward Merlot works well without overpowering the milk chocolate.

What's the texture of these caramels?
Soft and yielding with a satisfying chew. The caramel is formulated to be firm enough to hold its stand-up shape but soft enough to melt on your tongue. If they've been stored somewhere cool, let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before eating to bring out the full texture and flavor.

Can I mix milk chocolate and dark chocolate caramels in a gift box?
Yes. Our Build Your Own Box feature and our Mixed Caramels collection let you combine both versions. This is a popular choice for gifting because it offers variety—recipients can discover which style they prefer, and it creates visual interest in the presentation.
