They start with sweet, creamy butter. Next comes fresh milk and sugar. Then, after adding a few more fresh ingredients — salts, spirits and seasonings — McCrea’s Candies handrolls its exquisite caramel into smooth pieces of perfection.
There are 15 mouthwatering flavors like Black Lava Sea Salt, Cinnamon Clove and Single Malt Scotch (made with real whisky right from the Highlands).
You can buy some in a number of Garden State gourmet shops, including Occasionette in Collingswood, Fountain Greetings in Nutley, Welcome Home in Red Bank and Thomas Sweet Chocolate in Princeton.
