THE SWEET HISTORY OF CARAMEL
Historians suggest that around 1000 AD, Arab alchemists may have been among the first to create a sugar mixture, initially used as a beauty product. As trade expanded, this technique spread to Europe and North America, eventually evolving into the caramel treat we know today. By the 19th century, as sugar became more affordable, caramel grew in popularity, especially in the Western world. Explore more about caramel's rich history - in our guide.

How to Celebrate National Caramel Day
If you ask us, the best way to celebrate National Caramel Day is by indulging in the richest, most decadent caramel desserts. Need ideas? You could host a caramel-themed party—gather your favorite people and treat them to the ultimate caramel experience. Because when it comes to caramel, more is always more. Here are some thought-starters:
1. Set up a DIY Caramel Sundae Bar
A DIY sundae bar is a great way to turn dessert into an interactive, indulgent experience. Guests get to mix, match, and top their sundaes just the way they like. Your job? Curate the most irresistible caramel-inspired spread.
Start with a bowl full of our Mini Caramel Bars. Pair them with a pint of creamy vanilla ice cream and a lineup of toppings. Think chopped nuts for crunch, sea salt for contrast, fresh apples, peaches, or plums for a juicy twist, and a cloud of whipped cream.
2. Caramel-Inspired Cocktails
Elevate your celebration with some caramel-inspired cocktails. Our favorite: a Double Caramel Espresso Martini. All you need is some coffee liqueur, vodka, espresso coffee and ice to shake up a rich, velvety batch (find the full recipe here).
For a non-alcoholic option, swap the vodka and coffee liqueur for caramel syrup. Add in some frothed milk or cream for extra indulgence.
3. Caramel and Chocolate Tasting Party
As an ode to caramel, why not host a tasting party? You could explore the rich, indulgent pairing of two decadent flavors: caramel and chocolate. Sample a range of chocolates—from silky milk to bold 90% dark—with different types of caramel, like salted, burnt, and buttery dulce de leche.
Take it up a notch by pairing caramel with unexpected flavors. Try caramel and aged cheese for a savory contrast or caramel and crispy bacon for a perfect sweet-salty bite.
