‘Have you tried…’ my Suffolk friend Naomi asked, eyes a-glisten, ‘honey salted caramels by B Chocolates?’ No, I said, at once excited to try a new thing and at twice ashamed I’d never heard of them. ‘They are the best caramels I’ve ever tasted,’ said Naomi.
I was mildly curious, not least because people often tell me something is the best they’ve ever tasted. But something about how earnest Naomi was intrigued me. So I bought some from this tiny company – coffee caramels, £5 for 20, the mixed caramels, £5.75 for six (two honey and sea salt, two pecan caramels and two chocolate caramels), and caramel and nougat bars, £5.75 for two.
