The American bakery brand Thomas' recently began selling Salted Caramel bagels and English muffins. In recent years, salted caramel has become an extremely popular flavor due to its sweet and salty flavor profile. Now Thomas' is adding the flavor to its bread products in hopes of catering to changing consumer taste preferences.
The new Salted Caramel bagels and English muffins will be a seasonal offering available at grocery stores and major food retailers through until mid-October. The new products combine the distinct Nooks & Crannies texture of the brand's English muffins, as well as the soft and chewy texture of its Bagels to create a perfect surface for layering everything from butter to fresh fruit jam.
With the popularity of pumpkin spice finally waning, Thomas' is banking on salted caramel as the next big flavor for fall food products.
