Description

Chocolate caramel candies are delicious treats that combine the smoothness and sweetness of caramel with the intense and creamy flavor of chocolate. These sweets typically consist of a caramel base or filling, covered or mixed with a layer of chocolate, which gives them a unique texture and a perfect balance between sweet and cocoa.

Caramel, the main ingredient, is obtained by heating sugar until it melts and turns golden, while chocolate is produced from cocoa, which is native to the tropical regions of Central and South America.

Chocolate caramel candies are popular worldwide and can be found in various presentations: from bars and bonbons to individually wrapped pieces, being a common ingredient in desserts, pastries, and snacks.

Additionally, this combination provides quick energy due to its sugar and fat content, and they often contain natural antioxidants present in chocolate, especially if dark chocolate is used.

In the context of Latin American cuisine, these sweets may also be known as "chocolate caramels", "chocolates with caramel", or simply "chocolate-filled caramels", depending on the region.
