Putting my mark on our bestselling flavored caramel
When you cook with alcohol, especially in caramel, you concentrate everything. Good flavors get better. Bad flavors get louder. With only five ingredients in our Salted Bourbon Caramel, there is nowhere for a bad bourbon to hide.
Caramel Isn't Just For Dessert
It’s just as good on a cheese board as it is as a snack at the counter while dinner’s in the oven.
Good to the last drizzle
Three fast ways to use every last bit of your Fat Toad Farm Caramel Sauce...plus simple jar reuses.
Discovering caramel all over again
Our most popular flavored caramel
Whether you’re already a Fat Toad Farm fan or just discovering what happens when goat’s milk meets real Vermont craft, this jar is one worth opening - and sharing, if you’re feeling generous.
The caramel that's captured so many spoons
At Fat Toad Farm, we spend hours gently hand-stirring fresh Vermont goat’s milk until it transforms into something unforgettable: rich, creamy, small-batch caramel made the slow way, just like it’s been done for generations.
Caramel. Cheese. A little divine intervention
It was... astonishing. The cheese and the caramel both transformed. Sweet, smoky, creamy, savory. It was that perfect bite you didn’t know you were missing. As my husband put it, “That’s way better than it has any right to be.”
Cold brew in the Summer
There’s something about cold brew when you feel summer settling in — smooth, bold, perfectly chilled — and we’ve bottled that feeling...
From goat to jar. It's personal.
The perfect combination
Our Salted Bourbon Caramel always does the best at tastings and events. It's the one that draws folks over from across the room.
There is no wrong way
"What should I eat the caramel on?" I think that the better question is, "Is there anything that the caramel *doesn't* taste good on?"
You get out what you put in
Goats can be quite happy eating a lot of different things. But what they eat affects the flavor of their milk. And the best milk for our caramel is mild and sweet.
It's all about the ladies
We are fortunate to have so many amazing goat dairies in Vermont that we are able to choose the just right milk to make our caramel its very best!
2025 is our year of trade shows!
Most companies start selling at trade shows when they are first trying to get their name out in the world. But BBVT is 21 years old and it finally seemed like a natural progression after getting our first street sign at 20 years old.
