Brach's Milk Maid. I allow myself one per day. Can only find them in one store in our entire 100,000 population plus. None of the other compares.

The best caramels I've ever had were purchased in CVS. I can't remember the name but they were 3/$1 on display on the counter at the cash registers. They are vanilla flavored and I thought they were delicious.

I like Trader Joe's dark chocolate salted caramels.

The center is soft and gooey, I hate a hard center caramel.

I saw those too a few years back and was so excited because they were so much bigger than Brach's. I could not wait to have my nightly indulgent treat. Spit that thing right out. I still see them and I crave for the size and the good price but the flavor was so lacking. Might would be great melted down in a recipe though.

I love caramels but don't buy them as I'd scarf them all down within an indecent time! LOL

I was at the checkout today at Walmart and noticed a bag of Werther's Original Soft Caramels. Well, I bought a bag and ate all of them within a few hours. They are so good!!

I like the good ol' Kraft caramels and also the soft Werther's original.

Be warned that neither of my picks for an excellent caramel are inexpensive.

Fran's Chocolates, a Seattle company, makes the sea salt caramels that were the favorites of the president and his wife.

Bequet caramels are hard to resist, too.

I don't buy them anymore because I can't stop at one or two😕

hi goldensrbest

The best ones I have ever had are See's Butterscotch Chews and Scotch Kisses (same caramel but with See's marshmallow. Not too sweet and don't stick to your teeth.

When I was younger we used to do "fondue" with caramel.... my great aunt who was near 90 came to our home.... she had never seen fondue, let alone melted caramel..... when we were done she was so delighted that she told me she was going to write about it in her diary..... I didnt even know she kept a diary.... when she passed we went to help my mom clean out her home and there were years of wonderful diaries.... and sure enough.... her recollection of that day was there. I dont remember the brand.... I think it was Kraft..... but I have rarely met a caramel I dont like.... lol

The best cartels I ever had are the ones I make. 1 cup butter, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 cup brown sugar. Cook over medium heat until thick and smells like Carmel. Pour onto buttered cookie sheet. Cool completely.. cut into square, wrap in wax paper. You can't eat just one.

I love those too but I don't really think of them as traditional caramels. My favorite brand is one a friend told me about just a couple of months ago. It's called Lancaster Caramels. I think they are made in Lancaster County PA but I bought some in Dallas in November. They are creamier than Werther's and have a lovely flavor.
