Least Perishable Items at Karamell-Küche?

[wmjeffer]

My mom LOVES the caramel apples at Karamell-Kuche. She's not coming along for our December trip and I'd love to get her something from there as a small present for Christmas. I don't think an apple will make it, even if we buy it on our last day (December 12). But I'd rather do something more than just the prepackaged stuff. Any suggestions on items that will last 12 days after purchase?

There have been Wuerther's Sour Apple/ Caramel candies in the past. I didn't look for them in August, so I don't know if they're still there.

The chocolate covered caramels travel well.

Various cookies and candies.
Pick what you like.

Will you see Mom before Christmas?

I know I would be thrilled w a box of caramels. Or anything from there. It’s my favorite place

Definitely not the popcorn.

Popcorn lasts ages unless you eat it all! X

Whatever you choose, just make sure you bring some Ziplocs to take it home in. It will stay much fresher in a ziploc than the little wax bags they put it in.

Not that kind. It gets stale within HOURS. You'd need to bring along an airtight container and transfer it within a couple hours of buying it. Even then, it won't taste great days later.

I brought home the caramel squares for some friends, but didn't get to see them for quite a while. Since we weren't going to see them, I figured I might as well eat them. It was at least 3 weeks or so and they still tasted great (I put them in a plastic container to keep them fresh). For that caramel apple idea, she can cut both the squares and apples into chunks to enjoy.

You can save money and just hit up the grocery store at home and get the bagged Werther's caramels. Not much difference.

The caramel shortbread squares freeze really well too. My parents love them. We always buy them several. They freeze them and enjoy them throughout the year.

We used about a dozen snack credits one year on the big caramel squares and brought them home and put them in the freezer. Every one was delicious after defrosting to room temperature.

We bring home boxed caramel apples from Karamell and they are fine. We have even left them in the fridge for a few days.

I take home a lot from there every year. As soon as I buy it, I put everything in ziploc bags. It all lasts just fine (including the popcorn).

I love them too! Thanks for the tip about freezing them.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas!

The Orlando humidity and the fact that the popcorn is coated with caramel and/or chocolate makes it get soggy/stale really fast.

Whatever you get, make sure you bring containers to transport.

My sister and I did the Goofy's/Candy Cauldron Snack Credit Extravaganza on our last day. (I still have a hidden stash of peanut butter cups.)

Long story short, Disney's crappy plastic containers are garbage and multiple ones cracked and broke when going through Security Theater.

If you're getting a lot (or even a little) bring some kind of container to pack them in for safe transport home... Especially if you bring them in your carry-on.

MMM...dark chocolate caramels with sea salt.
