Best Candy: Sea Salt Caramels @ Capogiro
After the Cupcake Truck’s visit, I decided to highlight some of my other favorite treats in and around the city. Today, candy!
I hope when Michelle, Sasha and Malia visited Capogiro, they remembered to grab something for Dad. Obama’s love of sea salt caramels has been known for some time, so they had no excuse to not grab a bag of Little Flower Candy Company’s sea salt caramels off the counter.
I have had Barack’s favorites from Fran’s… heck, I’ll grab basically any caramel that says sea salt (that is the secret, after all) and give it a shot. Across the board, they cannot compare to the ones from Little Flower. If you are a fan of sweets with a savory edge, or if you just love salt (me!), these caramels will knock your socks off.
For many a dark month, Capogiro did not have them in stock. The woman who makes them (yes, one woman makes them) had just had a baby. When the caramels reappeared on the Capogiro counter, I wrote her a letter telling her how happy I was that she had not given up candymaking for babymaking.
Take advantage now. You never know when she could decide that little one needs a sibling.
