About Caramels

Caramels are a sweet confection made primarily from sugar, butter, and cream, cooked to create a smooth, golden texture. Originating from French cuisine, caramels have become a globally loved treat, often enjoyed on their own or as a topping for desserts. While rich in flavor, they are high in sugar and saturated fat, making them a calorie-dense choice. Caramels provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content but offer minimal nutritional benefits otherwise. Excessive consumption may contribute to health issues like weight gain or dental problems. Some recipes may include added salt or flavorings like vanilla, enhancing their taste. Variations such as sugar-free or reduced-fat caramels are available for those seeking a lighter option. Moderation is key when incorporating this indulgent treat into a balanced diet.
