According to the National Confectioner’s Association, October is Caramel month. Who comes up with these things? Regardless, go out there and eat some caramel to celebrate!
Speaking of caramel, how do you pronounce the word caramel? Is it 2 syllables like kar-mull or is it three like care-a-mel? Let’s have a quick poll - how do you say caramel and where do you live (to see if it’s regional)? I say karmull and I live in NC now (though I have lived all over the place).
And what’s your favorite caramel candy? I’d say for me it’s a tossup between Rolos and Caramel Creams (Bull’s Eyes).
UPDATE: My sister, Amber, reminded me in the comments about Caramel Pecan Turtles. Scratch the Rolos and Caramel Creams. Give me Turtles.
Caramel month? I’d have thought it was Candy Corn month since it’s Halloween and all. But you know, it kind of makes sense. Caramel Apples and all.
Eh, candy. Gotta love the candy.
October 4th, 2005 at 10:35 pmI say kar-mull as well. My favorite is Caramel Pecan Turtles - dark chocolate ones if you can find it!
October 4th, 2005 at 11:10 pmI pronouce it CARE-AH-MEL when it’s the gooey stuff inside a Rolo but end up pronouncing it KAR-MUHL when I’m making the toffee-like things myself. I was raised in PA and OH (dunno if that makes a difference or not).
I love, love, love pecan turtles. If I were on a desert island, I think I could live on ‘em.
October 5th, 2005 at 5:08 amHowdy candy lovers!! carmel, yes… the best is to take a 9×13 and lay out pretzels, topped with rolo carmel candy, then a pecan. Heat in the oven for approx 3 to 5 minutes at 350. “mush” the pecan down into the melted rolo and then let cool. Yum, yum, eat it up!! It is a quick dessert that looks like it was hard to make
