Description

Caramel-coated chocolates are small bites that combine the smoothness and richness of chocolate with a sweet and crunchy outer layer of caramel. This ingredient is very popular in baking and is used both to decorate desserts and to provide a contrast of textures and flavors in recipes for cookies, cakes, pies, and ice creams.

The origin of caramel-coated chocolates dates back to the evolution of artisanal chocolate making, where the combination of caramel and chocolate emerged as a way to enrich the flavor and offer a more complex sweet experience. Today, these chocolates are produced in many regions of the world, standing out for their versatility in the kitchen.

Regarding their properties, in addition to providing an intense flavor and a unique texture, they contain sugars and fats that contribute to their considerable energy value. They are a source of gastronomic pleasure but should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

In Latin America, this ingredient may also be known by names such as chocolates covered in caramel, caramel bonbons, or caramel pralines, depending on the country and the specific product presentation.
