One of our favorite childhood recollections is a day when our mother had her five girls cut squares of waxed paper to wrap her chocolatey black walnut caramels. The house was aromatic of melted butter and cocoa. We would spoon the gooey decadence into the paper, roll and twist according to her directives. She is at peace now, but her caramels endure. For a limited time, Zoe’s Candy Kitchen up the street (meet pretty Zoe!)has provided the time-honored recipe a renaissance! Available with and without black walnuts. Four of A Flavor. 

Another confectionary that we have befriended for decades offers the classic brown sugar variety. Perch one on a saucer beside your afternoon tea. Made fresh with only natural ingredients.
