Product Review: Das Salted Caramels


I've never been a huge caramel fan (we say "carmel" in Kansas) but these little Das Salted Caramels turned me into a believer. One piece of bite-sized caramel with a pinch of sea salt takes your nose to a hot pan over a stove, butter and sugar bubbling. Why is the intersection of butter and sugar at a certain temperature so delicious?

I heard the owner, Katie Das, speak at a recent Net Impact event about their business. She uses local ingredients when possible and formed a philanthropic partnership with the AIDS foundation of Chicago, donating 10% to the foundation.

I love their business model and I'll be hitting up Whole Foods for more delicious salted caramels soon.
