Description

Chocolate-covered caramel candies are a delicious sweet that combines the softness and sweetness of caramel with the texture and intense flavor of chocolate. These candies consist of a creamy and chewy caramel center, coated with a thin and crunchy layer of chocolate, which can be dark, milk, or white chocolate, depending on the variety.

Origin: This type of candy is popular in many cultures, especially in countries with a chocolate tradition such as Belgium, Switzerland, and the United States. In Latin America, its production and preference have spread due to the richness in cocoa production and the consumption of traditional sweets.

Properties: They provide a quick energy boost thanks to their sugar content. The chocolate that coats them provides natural antioxidants, especially if it is dark chocolate. However, due to their sugar and fat content, they should be consumed in moderation.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: some alternative names for these candies may be caramel bonbons, caramel pralines, chocolates filled with caramel, or simply chocolate caramels. The exact name may vary depending on the country and region.
