My girlfriend came across Le Caramel while perusing the internet. I love a little dessert snack while watching American Idol or the NBA Playoffs. But the dairy hangover from Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food ice cream was crushing. So I switched to a equally sweet but healthier snack…salted caramel on an apple. As described by the creators of Le Caramel: “In the heart of Normandy, only a few miles away from the D-day beaches, the little town of Isigny sur Mer is known worldwide for its quality dairy products; its milk, cream and cheese are considered to be among the best in France. Of all the wonderful recipes derived from these products, one stands out: the salted butter caramel.”

What’s great about these sweet little discoveries is that its creators are bootstrapping it together and doing everything they can to share their passion with the world. Thus, this special groupshop where you get their caramel cream chocolate sauce as their gift to you when you indulge in a few other unforgettable, mindbending treats from Le Caramel. VISIT HERE FOR THE GROUPSHOP. It’s on my storefront on The Open Sky Project, an online farmer’s market.

Its the impassioned people doing it on their own that make the world a sweeter place. In this case, I mean “sweeter” in every sense of the word.
