Caramel, no chocolate, no caramel, chocolate, caramel, chocolate – hey wait - why not have both?
I was always fascinated by Caramac growing up. It was like chocolate but tasted of caramel. I hadn’t thought of it for years. I hadn’t considered the possibility of making a healthy refined sugar free version but one day I was playing around with ideas for white chocolate when I decided to test it out with coconut sugar and BAM there it was, the flavour that I remembered – Caramac.
And what’s more I just love the sweet caramel flavour of these chocolate buttons.
However, I quickly discovered it wasn’t just me that loved them. Heads up - these giant ‘Caramac’ buttons are totally moreish – you have been warned. If you wish to consume all some any of them yourself, hiding them is not just an important consideration it is essential!!!
