Fat Toad Farm Owner's Manual
1. Stir it into your coffee — Claire's Maple Reserve
My personal favorite! A spoonful of our all-maple caramel turns your morning coffee into something pretty spectacular. Add steamed milk and you've got yourself a fancy coffee shop drink without having to put on pants. Try our caramel latte recipe
2. Bake with it — Vermont Maple Caramel
Apples and caramel are a match made in heaven. Add buttery pastry to the mix and things get even better. Our Caramel Apple Tart is a great place to start.
3. Make a snack — Salted Bourbon Caramel
Caramel isn't just for desserts. Toss some almonds with Salted Bourbon Caramel, a little sea salt and bake them until they're crunchy and caramelized. Try them out here. Warning: these disappear FAST.
4. Get cozy — Cinnamon Caramel
Stir a spoonful into hot chocolate for a warm, cinnamon-spiced treat. Add a blanket, a good book and a chilly evening and you've pretty much nailed it. Or go all out with our caramel hot chocolate recipe.
5. Put it on cheese — Original Caramel
If you've never tried this, you must! The tanginess of goat's milk caramel makes it a wonderful pairing for creamy, salty cheeses. Drizzle it over warm brie, add some crackers and call it an appetizer. Try our Caramel Baked Brie recipe!
6. Eat it straight from the jar — Vanilla Bean Caramel
No recipe required. Just a spoon. Or a finger. You can choose what you do with your jar.
Hopefully this handy-dandy manual has convinced you that caramel is not just an ice cream topping! It's a baking ingredient, a coffee sweetener, a cheese companion, a snack maker and, yes, a perfectly acceptable spoonful of joy.
We've got a whole collection of caramel recipes if you want explore all of the options.
