Chocolate Caramel Spread 210g | Crwst

Crwst's two-star Great Taste salted caramel with real Belgian milk chocolate stirred through it. Rich, velvety and not remotely subtle.

Chocolate spreads usually taste of palm oil and sugar. This one starts from an actual caramel - cream, butter, sea salt - and the chocolate is proper Belgian milk chocolate rather than cocoa powder and fat. What you get is closer to a soft chocolate caramel than to a hazelnut spread.

Thick on toast, stirred into porridge, spooned straight from the jar. Warmed gently it turns into a glossy sauce for pancakes.

FAQs

Is it very sweet?
It is a caramel spread, so yes, but the sea salt keeps it in check.

Does it contain nuts?
Not as an ingredient, but it is made in a kitchen that handles nuts. If you have a serious nut allergy, take that into account.

Crwst began in 2016 baking bread and sweet treats for local food markets in west Wales, and opened their cafe in Aberteifi (Cardigan) in 2018. The caramels and spreads are made in small batches, and they are now stocked in Selfridges and Harrods, which for a Cardigan bakery is no small thing.
