These are by far the BEST caramels I have ever had! Once you taste these you can immediately tell the difference between fresh, all natural caramels and a mass produced one. Even See's candy (my former favorite) can't compare.... and when I looked at the ingredients on the side of a candy box....uckkkk all the preservatives and flavorings - these are just AWESOME handmade caramels - Everyone that tried them LOVED them! I will be ordering again for holidays, birthdays and specail occasions
