I have to admit I'm pretty picky about caramels, since a Christmas tradition in my family is the making of homemade butter cream caramels, made with cream instead of sweetened condensed milk.

Compared to those, I find the Fleur de Sel caramels sweeter and less rich. But still very, very good! Easily the best commercial ones I've ever had. Not so chewy they'll take out a filling, but with enough stiffness so they don't just melt away before you've had a chance to enjoy them. Just about the right size, too: ever stuck a homemade caramel in your mouth, only to have Aunt Gertrude ask you a question? Or your boss? You won't look like a camel getting ready to spit with these.

Ok, maybe that's not the right mental picture for these. They come in a nice container, making them perfect to take as a gift or serve as part of a Christmas celebration. And the flavor is, again, just about the best commercial one I've ever had, and even tops most homemade since it's made with real butter.

My local TJ was sold out of these for a couple of weeks, so I was very please when, on my last shopping day last week, they had a display of them! I hope they bring them back next year--or make them with real cream. Either way, I'll be happy.

I am not a fan of caramels, but love sea salt. I was pleased by the not too sweet taste of the caramels. Love the background flavor of the Fleur de Sel.

Last year, I bought a box of these as an office gift, then got curious and bought a box for myself. Pretty soon, I was picking up a box every time I went to TJ's. Then the holidays were over and they disappeared. Now I'm trying to figure out if it would be excessive to buy a year's supply.
