A scientist with a background in chemistry and an abiding appreciation for natural ingredients, Jason is a man possessed by the single, simple idea to make the best caramel in the world—nothing less. That’s the impetus behind the fine artisanal small-batch foodie gift that is McCrea’s Candies.

Early on, he saw the importance of controlling the cooking process to get consistent quality. So, one of the first things that he bought was a computer driven batch cooker that regulated the kettle temperature to a tenth of a degree and stirred the cooking caramel throughout the process, ensuring even heating and consistent results. Guys love getting into their gadgets and I’m so glad that Jason went down the caramel making rabbit hole to figure out how to produce his caramels for the world to enjoy. They’re insanely good!

Because of the machine’s quality control, he could focus on getting creative with flavors while perfecting his basic caramel recipe. With amazing flavors like black lava sea salt and rosemary truffle sea salt, the foodie in your life will be impressed with the quality, design and creativity of these little caramels. Whether you’re looking for a foodie gift, client gift, office gift exchange idea, stocking stuffer, hostess gift or a gift for the impossible person with a sweet tooth, these caramels deliver. I went through two tubes of the Flavor Family in about a week. Hey, they’re addicting!! (and, I have no self control) So, yeah, just get them for you, too. You won’t regret it.
