I would like to ask you a question. Before I do I would like to let you know I’m sharing our series featuring Food Holidays: October 2022: National Caramel Month. Which I know David will be excited to know. Why Charlie also might like learning this but National Caramel Month doesn’t mean much to me because I don’t much care for Caramel. How about you?
National Caramel Month
One of the simplest pleasures in life is sinking our teeth into a piece of Caramel. October not only signifies the return of delicious baked goods and Halloween Candy, but it’s also National Caramel Month. We’ve compiled reasons we love Caramel, and have even listed ideas that will help you celebrate all month long. We don’t know about you, but we can’t wait to get our hands on a piece of Caramel.
National Caramel Month Activities
- Learn how to make Caramel with only three basic ingredients, mastering Caramel is easier than it seems. There are Caramel recipes online, or you can take a cooking class.
- Few treats are as synonymous with the month of October as a Caramel Apple. Let your imagination run wild with the toppings you choose, although, the Classic Caramel and crushed Peanut combination is a tried and true favorite.
- Do you know anyone who is celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or other special occasion in the month of October? Why don’t you deliver a Caramel-themed gift basket as a gift? Caramel Popcorn, Caramel Sundae topping, etc.
5 Things You Probably Never Knew About Caramel
- Caramel was a Candy staple for many immigrants because of the simple, affordable ingredients used.
- Before Milton Hershey ever began producing his famous Chocolate Candy Bars Milton Hersey was known for making Caramels.
- All of the fun isn’t just reserved for the month of October. You can also celebrate National Caramel Day on April 5th.
- The English word for Caramel is simply derived from the French and Spanish word “Caramelo.”
- The cooking processes for Caramel Candies and the Caramel used for Apples are different.
Why We Love National Caramel Month
- Caramel can take on many different forms and Melted Caramel, can be drizzled over the top of Cakes, and cupcakes to take these desserts to a completely new level. We can’t forget to mention how a Caramel Sundae is. Caramel also is a great addition to Cake Frosting. We wouldn’t want to forget Caramel Fudge.
- Some of the most basic (and best) recipes for Caramel call for Sugar, Cream, and Butter. The entire cooking process can be a little bit tricky, but with practice, you’re sure to get the hang of it.
- We can’t forget to mention one of the main reasons to love Caramel: Its delicious! Caramel is a satisfying treat any time of year, but there is just something about the rich and creamy taste that signifies the beginning of Fall.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
