McCrea's Candies

Hyde Park, Massachusetts

Kate and Jason McCrea fell in love while working as researchers on the Arctic Tundra, and after double layoffs, they began to cook up sweet treats for their neighbors and friends. The raves came rolling in, and before long, they were whipping up batch after batch in copper kettles, then feeding it all through a restored, early twentieth-century cutting and wrapping machine. They’re on a mission to make the world’s best caramel (and with those fresh-as-can-be ingredients, they just might have done it).

Delicious!

These caramel candies are so delicious. Melt nicely without getting stuck in your teeth. The different flavors are nice surprises when they're in a bowl and you just reach for one. I like that the wrapper identifies the flavor. Really a treat.
