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. 

Other fun ideas to try: 

• Swirl it into your oatmeal for a fabulous breakfast. 

• Warm to blend with cream; then chill & whip to make caramel whipped cream. 

• Use it instead of melted marshmallow in my play on 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 want the warm sauce to stay flowy when it hits your cold ice cream I recommend adding a splash of milk or cream when you heat it.

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.
