I probably shouldn’t have been, but I was surprised that the Salted Chocolate Nut was the clear favorite in the “most likely to buy” category. Frankly, I wasn’t plannng on offering that with the debut of my caramels, mostly b/c it’s more work due to the roasting and chopping of the nuts, but since people showed so much interest in it, it’s in the mix now. I was already willing to deal with the nut issues for the Cinnamon Almond Caramels, which I have a fanatical love for, so I guess I’ll just do a little more nut work. I was a little bummed to see the Cinnamon Almond at only 4% in most likely to buy, but at least it’s strong in the “interested in” category…. though not as strong as Classic, which really picked up in the “interested in” category. And I’m glad that Wildflower Honey was strong in both categories — it’s the one that I feel is most local, and it’s really tasty.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey!!! The BonBonBar Caramels will be available to sell as soon as I can manage.

One thing I have learned, is people like their nuts! I am not surprised at your results at all, but am very excited that you’re up for the challenge for us.
Can’t wait to see the packaging and of course taste the final product.
If you need any taste testers……….

Yeah, now that I think about it, chocolate, caramel, salt, and nuts is a mighty attractive combination.
And I’ll keep you posted on taste testers….

One of my favourite flavour combinations is caramel coated in white chocolate. I know it’s not technically ‘Real’ chocolate but good quality white has a more delicate flavour than milk or dark chocolate and that really lets the flavour of the caramel shine through (I freakin’ love caramel btw).
This might seem too outlandish for the average consumer, but I like the idea of a cinnamon+nutmeg flavoured caramel enrobed in white chocolate.

Sarah - Huh… I never thought about pairing white chocolate & caramel. I agree about the more delicate flavor, and it also melts so smoothly that I think that the texture would be perfect to match, too. I’m really tempted to try out the cinnamon and nutmeg caramel in white chocolate — it may be a really great holiday flavor. If I develop it, I’ll send you some! Thanks!

these all look amazing! but i was hoping ginger would be on the list somewhere so someone else would make it for me
most excellent work, Nina!

Thanks, Lisa! I’m keeping the Ginger Caramels in mind of Phase 2 of caramels… though now that you mention it, I want someone else to make them for me, too!
