Chocolate and wine are often served alongside one another at tasting events, but these Bissinger's caramels make it easy to enjoy the tried-and-true pairing in a convenient bite-sized format.
While the Merlot Salt Caramels boast the taste of dark chocolate, sea salt and red wine, the milk chocolate Chardonnay Salt Caramels made with a 300-year-old caramel recipe are described as being "topped with barrel smoked chardonnay fleur de sel." These decadent caramels are in line with a growing number of products that offer a new way to enjoy upscale pairings from alcohol tasting experiences.
To complement its wine-inspired chocolates, Bissinger's put together a chocolate and wine pairing guide so that its customers may experience the best flavors possible from its assorted chocolates and caramels.
