About Candies, caramels
Caramels are the soft, chewy sweets made by slowly cooking sugar with cream and butter until it turns golden and rich. Sweet, buttery and pleasantly sticky, they're a classic candy and the flavor behind countless desserts.
Nutritionally they're sugar and fat in candy form: high in sugar from the cooked syrup and fat from the cream and butter, which makes them calorie-dense with little else to offer. A little calcium sneaks in from the dairy, but that's about it.
Caramels are a pure sweet treat, and a sticky one — best enjoyed a couple at a time, and worth knowing they cling to teeth, which is something dentists are not fond of.
