Caramel Chocolates

We put just as much thought into the flavor balance of our chocolate caramels as we do the ingredients themselves. Every bite is shaped by how our caramel and chocolate work together, smooth, steady, and never overdone. 

Here’s what you can expect when you take that first bite:

Creamy, Slow-Cooked Caramel Base

Our caramel starts with real dairy and natural sweeteners, cooked slowly to achieve a soft, non-stick texture. The flavor is buttery and rich but not heavy. It’s designed to melt cleanly on the palate without leaving an aftertaste.

Subtle Salinity From Celtic Sea Salt®

We use Celtic Sea Salt® to bring dimension to the sweetness. The salt doesn’t overpower; it steadies the flavor, bringing out the depth in the caramel and the chocolate. It’s there for structure, not shock.

Smooth Milk Chocolate Shell

Each piece is coated in milk chocolate and selected to match the tone of our caramel. It is not too dark and not overly sweet. The chocolate holds its shape, breaks cleanly, and adds a creamy finish that complements rather than competes with the caramel center.

Balanced Sweetness

We don’t chase sugar highs. Our caramels are sweet enough to feel indulgent, but measured so that one piece leaves you satisfied, not overwhelmed. We test a balance in every batch so that you can count on consistency.

The Sweet Joy of Caramel Cups

Our Caramel Cups are the perfect way to enjoy the irresistible blend of smooth milk chocolate and rich, buttery caramel. Each bite delivers a balance of creamy sweetness and melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes caramel and chocolate shine together. Here’s why caramel cups are one of the most delicious ways to savor this classic pairing.

Convenient Packs of Two

Caramel cups in packs of two offer just the right amount for a satisfying treat without overindulging. You can enjoy one now and save the other for later, or share with a friend for a quick moment of sweetness together. The compact size makes them easy to carry in a bag, keep at your desk, or tuck into a lunchbox, so you always have a perfectly portioned caramel-and-chocolate pick-me-up on hand.

Goodbye Peanut Butter, Hello Indulgent Caramel 

Caramel cups are a decadent upgrade from peanut butter cups, offering a smoother, richer experience with every bite. The buttery caramel center blends seamlessly with creamy milk chocolate, creating a melt-in-your-mouth texture that feels more like a dessert than a snack. Where peanut butter cups lean on a salty, dense filling, caramel cups deliver a luscious sweetness and a luxurious finish that makes them the ultimate indulgent twist on the classic cup.

Perfect For Gifting

Caramel chocolate cups make an unforgettable gift for any occasion. The silky caramel center wrapped in smooth, rich chocolate offers a luxurious treat that feels both thoughtful and indulgent. Their elegant appearance and irresistible flavor make them just as suitable for a special celebration as for a simple “thinking of you” moment. With every bite, caramel chocolate cups turn gifting into an experience—one that delights the senses and leaves a lasting impression.

The Béquet Confections Difference

There’s a noticeable difference when confections are made with genuine care. At Béquet Confections, every batch is crafted with close attention to detail and a commitment to quality. It’s not about scale—it’s about flavor, texture, and experience. That dedication comes through in every bite.

Here’s how that shows up in every bite:

Consistency Without Compromise

Our consistency comes from process – careful cooking, accurate timing, and hands-on attention to every step. We rely on skill, not synthetic stabilizers. You’ll notice it in the texture: soft but structured, never grainy or overcooked.

Flavor That Develops, Not Flattens

We’re building flavor that unfolds with every chew. Our caramels develop slowly in the cooking process, allowing natural dairy and real vanilla to come through. When we add salt or chocolate, they’re not just accents but part of the flavor structure.

Ingredients You Can Taste, Not Just Read

Using clean, premium ingredients isn’t a marketing move; it’s essential to our caramels' performance. Non-GMO tapioca syrup, antibiotic-free dairy, and pure sea salt taste cleaner, melt smoothly, and leave less of a coated feeling in your mouth.

Quality Control By People, Not Machines

A trained team handles every batch. We taste, check texture, and adjust based on what we see and feel, not just what a machine reads. That kind of attention doesn’t scale easily, but it shows up where it matters: in flavor, texture, and reliability. It also means we can offer consistent quality in every format, including our bulk caramel, which delivers our gourmet caramel in larger quantities for events, offices, or high-volume needs.

Ingredient Spotlight

We take pride in every ingredient we choose. None of it is filler. Each directly affects how our caramel candy chocolate tastes, feels, and holds up over time. Here’s a closer look at the components we use and why we chose them.

Antibiotic-Free Dairy

Our caramels start with real cream and butter sourced from dairies that don’t use antibiotics. This gives our caramel a clean, rich foundation without the chemical aftertaste in shelf-stable, factory-made products. The difference is most noticeable in the texture and the way the flavor lingers.

Non-GMO Tapioca Syrup

Instead of corn syrup, we use non-GMO tapioca syrup. It supports the caramelization process without being overly sweet or sticky. It also smooths the texture and reduces the risk of crystallization over time. This choice is intentional – for flavor, consistency, and overall quality.

Brown Sugar

Brown sugar adds a rich, layered sweetness with subtle notes of molasses. It shines in our slow-cooking process, deepening the caramel flavor and enhancing the overall complexity. We use it not to dominate, but to complement the cream and salt, bringing warmth, balance, and depth to every bite.

Celtic Sea Salt®

The sea salt in our chocolates with caramel isn’t just decorative. We use Celtic Sea Salt® because of its mineral profile and clean salinity. It sharpens flavor without leaving bitterness behind, especially when paired with chocolate.

Only the highest-quality ingredients are used in our collection of gourmet caramels, ensuring that every chocolate-coated or classic product is held to the same high standard.

Caring For Your Caramels: Storage Tips For Peak Freshness

Our caramels are made without preservatives, so a little care goes a long way. Follow these simple tips to keep your caramel chocolates tasting just as smooth and balanced as the day they arrived.

• Keep Them Cool, Not Cold: Store your caramels at room temperature, ideally between 60°F and 70°F. Avoid refrigeration unless your environment is hot or humid or if you’re trying to extend freshness. Cold temperatures can make the caramel firmer than intended and affect the chocolate’s snap.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Sunlight can cause the chocolate coating to melt or bloom, causing the cocoa butter to rise to the surface. Always store your box in a shaded cupboard or pantry, away from windows or heat sources.
• Use an Airtight Container Once Opened: If you’ve opened a bulk bag or box, transfer any unwrapped pieces into an airtight container. This helps maintain the caramel’s soft texture and protects the chocolate shell from absorbing outside odors.
• Don’t Store Near Strong-Smelling Foods: Caramel and chocolate are sensitive to surrounding aromas. Avoid placing them near coffee, spices, or onions. If kitchen space is limited, an airtight container or sealed bag helps reduce this risk.
• Check Shelf Life, But Trust Your Senses: Our caramels are best enjoyed within a few months of purchase, though they remain safe for longer. If the texture feels dry or the flavor is dull, it’s likely past its peak, but not harmful.
• Freeze If Necessary: If you need to store caramels long-term, wrap them tightly and place them in an airtight container in the freezer. Allow them to return to room temperature slowly before eating.
