In for 3. Cheaper than See's Chocolates, and I bet it's a lot better quality. And See's isn't bad.

I am so IN for (at least) ONE... I've even got some extra fleur de sel to add when I feel appropriate...

And first sucker too! The brit likes his caramels...
edit: he was first when I posted but it changed

I was just grumbling to myself that it had been too long since any foods turned up in the Woot-off. Glad it's Thursday.

What company makes these?

In for two.. chocolate.. caramels..? how could I pass it up.

Never been first chewer before! Edit, wait it's someone else... what did you see Cesare?

So I'd love to go in for 2: for Valentine's and to keep them for right occasions. However, whenever I do that, my chocolate tends to stick around for years.

Any ideas on how long I can store this in a closet, waiting for the right person to impress? ;)

Tempting, but I'm a little worried about how the weather might affect them. I'd hate to have them show up all cracked and crumbly from freezing, thawing, and refreezing on their arduous cross-country Smartpost journey.

Wow! Cesare actually speaks... and I always thought he was just a bot, or part bot, or mute bot, a no bot...

I'm just happy they came up on woot at all, in for 2.

I'm just sad to see the flashing lights disappear...

Did somebody say foooood?

This still needs someone over 21 to sign for them huh? Does anyone know for sure?

The absolute best domestic chocolate I've found is Bedre's out of Oklahoma (believe it or not). I doubt these could surpass them.

In for 3. At $10/lb that's almost crazy big box club prices for far, far lesser chocolates.

Neuhaus it ain't, but the QPR is worthy of an all-in call on this one, folks.

Hey there everyone... I am the owner of
The Candy Basket, and I just wanted eveyone to know how excited we are to be part of this amazing Woot offer!

richardhod wrote:Never been first chewer before!

Ah yes, these aren't lollypops. Hey you ever gonna make it to nyc?

I was just recently thinking about caramels and longing for more Le Caramel salted butter caramels. I'm sure I will love these too.

Huh. Do I forgive woot for the epic disaster that was Le Caramel and try again? Or keep my money and save it for better days. Decisions, decisions.

So I take it you have never had a frozen chocolate/caramel treat as a kid then? As I recall they were not only most wondrous, but also lasted a very long time...

I ordered the spice rack from wine.woot, and it was just left on my doorstep, no signing

Aww, what the heck, in for 2. I'm pretty sure they won't last 2 months. :D

You have a good 120 days to find the perfect person to gift these to...and if the perfect person doesn't happen by, you will still be able to enjoy them for another 30 days all by your lonesome!

Welcome To The Candy Basket

Dark Chocolate Fleur De Sel Caramel

Milk Chocolate Fleur De Sel Salted Caramels

Gotta love this:

"It was in 1999 that The Candy Basket merged with Shorthill Taffy Factory, another locally owned and operated candy manufacturer since 1914. Shorthill Taffy Factory boasts four generations of women manufacturing the finest quality and variety of salt water taffy in the world. From our basic best sellers, Red Cinnamon, Peanut Butter, Licorice Swirl, and Peppermint, to our more exotic flavors, Paradise Plum, Asian Pear, Maple Bacon, and Jalapeno, each batch is slow cooked in copper kettles and pulled to perfection. Every batch is made fresh to order!

The two companies are a match made in heaven, in and out of the work place! Not only was a successful year for business born, but love was in the air, and we don’t mean Valentine’s Day. The owner of The Candy Basket, Inc., Dale C. Fuhr proposed to the owner of Shorthill Taffy Factory, Kipi Doran in August of 2001. As their love continues to grow, so does business!"

My suggestion, if I may, would be to try to get out a tad more...

WOW compared to the retail price these appear to be an excellent deal! The wife and I recently had chocolate cupcakes with caramel frosting and fleur-de-sel on top. I was very impressed with the cupcakes, and can't wait to try these! In for one!

In for 1! How can we say no with Valentine's Day around the corner? :3

Great to see you here! Can you tell us a bit about the source of the chocolate? (You know, Country of origin, percentages, etc.)

Why would you hide them in the closet when I am right here?

LOL! Our first Gigi's cupcakes is opening tomorrow and on their menu - Chocolate Salted Caramel and I can't wait to try it!

Looks like there's more than one Candy Basket out there - however, it does appear to be the one that merged with Shorthill Taffy like NightGhost said.

Oh man... on a diet... but salted chocolate covered caramels are my weakness. I might have to plan ahead for when I quit this diet and just order anyhow.

Nah, I like a good frozen chocolate as much as the next person, but once you freeze, thaw, re-freeze it several times, especially in quick succession, it hardens up and loses a lot of creaminess.

I dunno, maybe that only happens to cheap chocolate or it's not as bad for dark chocolate. Maybe I'm just making things up. After a night snowed in with a bottle of wine, who really knows...

Well I'll be damned, a local company. For that I'm definitely in for one. Not to mention, I had some salted caramels from Purdy's chocolates over the Xmas holiday (Canadian company) and I'll be damned if those weren't out of this world.

Sure hope these, at the very least, come close!
