Real talk: making caramel from scratch is chef-level stress. And those little wrapped caramels? Ugh, all that unwrapping just for one drizzle. We just couldn't take it anymore. That’s why Peter’s Caramel is a game-changer. We’ve been using it at Gygi’s for years—here’s why it deserves a permanent spot in your kitchen.
1. The Flavor Hits Just Right
You know that moment when something tastes like nostalgia, but also elevated? Peter’s Caramel is that.
-
It’s buttery without being greasy.
-
Sweet, but with a toasted caramel punch that says, “yeah, I know my flavors.”
-
Made with real ingredients—none of that weird aftertaste stuff.
2. Ridiculously Convenient
Life is busy. Shouldn’t your caramel be ready when you need it? We think so.
-
Shelf‑stable for 12–18 months, so this isn’t a “use it or waste it” kind of deal.
-
Slice off only what you need—no more wasted chunks.
-
Store it in something airtight, keep it cool and dry, and BAM—ready for caramel apples, late‑night sundaes, or impromptu dessert flexes whenever you get the craving.
3. Melts Like a Dream![]()
Let’s be real: caramel mishaps are the worst. Burned pots, clumpy sauces, weird textures… no thanks.
With Peter’s, melting is nearly foolproof:
-
We love using a heavy pot with a lid (Staub cocottes are a fave).
-
Low heat (around 200°F), slow melt, lid on. Two hours. Minimal stirring. Let it chill (literally) while it does its thing.
-
What comes out: smooth, pourable, dab‑on‑glass‑of‑milk texture.
Even if you mess up your pasta, you won’t mess up your caramel.
4. Always Consistent = No Surprises
You know how some days your caramel is perfect, and other days it’s a disaster? Peter’s is consistent. Always.
-
No burnt edges if you forget about it for a second.
-
No weird sugar shocks or changes in texture.
-
Just reliable caramel heaven every time.
So whether you’re topping pretzels, dipping apples, or layer‑cake-ing it, you know what you’re getting.
