Top 6 reasons why I really liked these caramels:
1.) No corn syrup*
2.) California wildflower honey was #1 ingredient
3.) Well balanced - dark chocolate coating helped balance sweet and salt (fleur de sel) flavors4.) Gluten free
5.) *Someone once bet the folks behind Droga that a caramel couldn't be made without corn syrup, and they proved them wrong, big time
6.) Just the right touch of organic cream and butter
These great tasting, dark chocolate covered, wildflower honey -- also known as "Put Your Money on Honey" -- caramels with a light sprinkle of sea salt from Droga Confections (Los Angeles, CA) spoke for themselves. May there always be plenty of California wildflower honey for bees, and for people to enjoy in forms like this.
