Sunni's Caramels aren't the hard, bland little bricks you can buy from the supermarket. Smooth and unctuous, they're loaded with rich, buttery flavor. And if you're into gilding the lily, I'm happy to top the caramel with chopped, lightly salted buttered pecans. That may sound odd, putting salt on a candy, but trust me, the slight tang of sea salt marries with the pecans and sweet caramel beautifully.
The ingredients are simple: butter; cream; sugar; corn syrup (not the high fructose kind); and vanilla are all it takes to make delicious caramels. Caramels with pecans have these additional ingredients: roasted buttered pecans (which I also make myself) and sea salt. The secret to making caramels is in fresh ingredients, and in the cooking. Careful attention, low heat, and small batches ensure soft, wonderfully-flavored candies. I've found that a simple, additional step to the basic recipe deepens the flavor of my caramels—but it too isn't a fast process. Good things can't be rushed. I greatly enjoy cooking, and would be delighted to make some caramels for you.
Each order of caramels is handmade, fresh for you. Once the candy is cool, it's cut into individual pieces. Then it's wrapped in waxed paper, boxed in a standard white candy box, and packaged for shipping. Because the flavor of caramel is best after it's aged a day or two, regular shipping will get it to you full of flavor and ready for your enjoyment. It also keeps well if stored in a cool (not cold) place, out of direct sunlight—that is, if there's any caramel left to store!
Here's what some satisfied customers have to say about Sunni's Caramels:
What can you do with Sunni's Caramels besides enjoy them as a candy? Warmed carefully in the microwave—on low power and in 10-second bursts so the caramel isn't scorched—a few caramels become:They melted in my mouth and made my taste buds explode with sweetness. I plan to be a repeat customer.–B.W. Richardson

Just in time for Thanksgiving, I'm also offering another nutty goody—spiced glazed almonds. Egg whites, sugar, and a generous pinch of cinnamon and cayenne pepper transform almonds into a sweet and slightly spicy treat. They're addictive! For 8 ounces of this delectable snack, perfect for munching on while the turkey's roasting, please add $5 to your caramel order.
