This week’s gourmet prize sponsor is Amella Cocoa Butter Caramels. Available in three mouth-watering flavors, the gourmet caramels are all made with butter, cream and real fruits and vegetables. (Yes, vegetables: They made a delicious Carrot Cake caramel in addition to their equally delightful Black Forest and Passion Fruit caramels.) The addition of cocoa butter adds the silkiness to chocolate for these candies, which are all hand-cut and individually hand-dipped so no two are exactly identical.

In addition to an indulgent treat for you, indulge your guests by serving these with after-dinner coffee. They also make wonderful gifts and stocking stuffers for foodies.
