Constantly creating caramels
Kindred Caramels (formerly Kindred Cooks) was started in 2014 by Jeri Vasquez. They make traditional style caramels, i.e., not chocolate coated, in a wide variety of flavors, and tend to introduce a new flavor or 2 every year. They usually have a few chocolate caramels, such as their Sea Salt with Chocolate caramels which feature a little tablet of chocolate wrapped in caramel.
The caramels are available in stores around SFBA, plus they have an online store and are a frequent vendor at TasteTV chocolate salons and other events around SFBA.
