Caramel is a delicious, versatile food that has a fascinating history. Here are some sweet caramel facts you should know.
Caramel Has its Own Holiday

You can enjoy this month by ordering some of our delicious caramel offerings. Our milk chocolate caramel hearts and our classic caramel popcorn are perfect treats to enjoy during this month.
It’s Simple
You may have noticed that caramel is included in a lot of foods, but you may not be sure about how it’s made. It may seem like you’d have to be a confectioner to know how to make it, but the main ingredients in caramel are surprisingly simple: milk, sugar, and butter. This means that you can even make homemade caramel!
It’s Been Enjoyed for Centuries
Caramel dates back to the 17th century, making it a longstanding staple in the world of sweets! Early Americans used to make caramel using sugar and boiling water. It was an especially popular treat because it was easy to make, affordable, and delicious. Some things never change!
Caramel Apples Were an Accident
When you think about caramel treats, the first thing that might come to mind is a caramel apple. This tasty creation is a staple for many people during the fall months. But did you know that its invention was an accident? In the 1950s, Dan Walker, a sales representative at Kraft Foods, dipped apples into some caramel he melted down. They were a hit, and still recreated today. The next time you’re enjoying a caramel apple remember to thank Dan Walker!
