Coconut caramel flavors can sometimes be found topping off desserts, but these candies from Annie B's isolate this combination. The Coconut Caramels are described as being "like a luau for your mouth," and promise to provide a taste of the tropics on the go. Each of the handmade and hand-wrapped buttery caramel rolls are slow-cooked in copper pots using all-natural coconut flavors. As a result of its pure and simple ingredient list, the Coconut Caramels are free of tree nuts and gluten.
While this exotic flavor combination can also be found in ice cream, cookies and cakes, in the form of a chewy caramel candy, it's much easier to indulge in a bite-sized sweet.
Chocolate Raspberry, Black Licorice, Cappuccino and Peppermint are a few of the other inventive caramel flavors produced by Annie B's.
