Today, Kevin and I are tasting Sanders brand dark chocolate sea salt caramels. We have two variations: mine is sugar-free, and Kevin’s is dairy-free. These candies are quite expensive at $6.99 per 5.5 oz (156g) bag, which we purchased at Meijer. Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels The sugar-free version contains eight pieces per bag, translating to about 90 calories per two-piece serving (28g). These caramels boast 70% cacao, are small-batch, kettle-cooked, and free of artificial colors and flavors. Despite Sanders’ long history (125 years) and reputation, I found this product disappointing. The caramels were extremely salty and bitter. The coarse, chunky salt overwhelmed the flavor, making it hard to enjoy the chocolate. While the caramel was impressively soft and easy to chew, the bitterness of the dark chocolate was too overpowering. If you prefer very bitter dark chocolate, you might enjoy these, but for us, they missed the mark entirely. Dairy-Free Dark Chocola
