Let’s be honest: You’re not going to regret purchasing the big jar of Cara-Sel. It gives you enough to make ice cream sundaes for a crowd or a few batches of baked goods. Plus, it lasts in the fridge for months so you can sneak spoonfuls whenever you feel like it. 

What’s the fuss about Cara-Sel?

When people ask me why our caramel is so darn good, I tell them I like to flirt with danger. 

What I mean is that I take the melted sugar well past the color of copper. It’s toward the edge of being too dark (almost burnt, but not!) until the moment the luxuriously rich dairy comes into play. 

Making this dangerously dark caramel is worth it because you can taste it in the sauce. It adds a bittersweet complexity you can’t get from lab-made “flavorings.” Speaking of which, there aren’t any. No preservatives either. Just some sea salt and vanilla to elevate the flavors. 

And that’s just five wholesome ingredients total. 

Don’t just take our word for it.

“Cara-Sel remains on my top 10 list of most delicious things I’ve ever eaten.” —Allison W.

“I wanted to let you know that everybody has been raving about the caramel sauce! Their only complaint is they can't find a way to hide it from the rest of the family!” —Laura S. 

“I just ordered two more large jars and I have the caramel Krispie treats cooling now. I don’t know who I was kidding with purchasing 2 small jars. So yummy!” —Tracy D. 

How do you use Cara-Sel? 

When people ask me this question, I often think, How can’t you use it! As an avid cook and baker, I add it to so many dishes and not just desserts! 

  • Drizzle it over toast with ricotta or swirl it into oatmeal. 

  • Dip a slice of bacon in it. (We love this idea from a fan!). 

  • Use it instead of melted marshmallow in Rice Krispie treats. 

  • Swap it for sugar, honey, or maple syrup in savory recipes that call for a little bit of sugar, like some soups and dressings. 

  • Stir it into your coffee or hot chocolate. 

  • Eat it straight off the spoon, of course!

A note about the texture

Some people are surprised that the caramel doesn’t pour out from the jar at room temperature. It’s the thicker texture that helps it maintain its long shelf life without any preservatives. 

At a cool room temperature, it’s gorgeously fudgy and ready as a dip for your pretzels, apples, or simply, your spoon. 

In the fridge, it becomes more firm and sticky, and in summer temperatures or when it’s warmed, you can drizzle and pour it more easily. 

If you like the sauce over ice cream, we always recommend adding a splash of milk or cream so it stays flowy when it hits the cold dessert. 

Shipping details

We charge $10 as a flat rate per order. I realize that if you only want one jar, this seems high. Trust me, I get it!

We spent a VERY long time figuring out how to handle shipped orders. With our small scale and heavy products, this is truly the best option. 

If the shipping price is holding you back, consider this: Find a friend — or a few — to order a jar and split the shipping. The more you order, the cheaper the shipping per jar. 

Storage suggestions

Cara-Sel does not contain any artificial preservatives. The shelf life before opening is at least one year. It is best stored out of direct sunlight and away from high temps. Once opened, it could last for months in your refrigerator...but we have yet to meet anyone with that kind of willpower.
