I'm looking for really great homemade caramels, sort of homemade style preferable. Also, great brittle---cashew, pecan, peanut as a last resort. thanks!

Of you happen to be at U-Village a friend of the owner of Univesity Framing and Gallery made some caramels for sale that are heavenly. They're a little pricey at $6.50 for a small bag but oh so good.

On Queen Anne there is a shop across from Blockbuster- a little gourmet shop Le Cadeaux Gourmet (I think) they have the most amazing salt carmels. I crave them!!

How much are the caramels there? Are they sold as singles or in packages?

[little ms foodie]

they are in little celo bags of maybe 10 (??) and are a bit pricey...I think they are $6-8. But they are so good. Definately the best salt carmels I've found. You can call and ask them.

I'll definitely call, but these are for my dad who puts quality and quantity on equal par, so...maybe ideas for something a little less pricey?

I haven't had them but what about Frans salt carmels?

There was a woman selling good hand-made caramels at the Ballard farmer's market back in the Fall. I think they were called Beth's Caramels. I haven't been recently so I can't promise she's still there, but if so she's worth a visit. I also saw her caramels at one of the local grocery stores; maybe Ballard, maybe Central? sorry I can't recall for certain...

Lavender caramels = yumm!

fran's salt caramels (dark chocolate) are delicious. they can be purchased at Metropolitan markets (i'm sure at greater expense) if you don't want to go to U village or buy online. i eat them upside down so the salt hits my tongue right away. splendid.

geez, had i had a chance to read egullet while in Brittany last week I would have loaded my rollaboard with caramels and sold them to you at cost.

I love fran's caramels, though i prefer them natural, the chocolate sort of detracts from the buttery goodness.

I'm going to try and duplicate roellinger's caramels avec fruits sec (basically caramels with toasted almonds), they were yummy.
