Caramel, Caramel, Caramel

Presented by Werther’s Original, Karamell-Küche  is a shop in the Germany Pavilion of  World Showcase. The moment you step inside, you are surrounded by everything caramel.  There are pre-packaged goodies from Werther’s Original such creamy caramel-filled hard candy, or caramel covered popcorn. In the cases, you’ll find a large selection of fresh candy, caramel candy, caramel and chocolate dipped strawberries and pineapple spears and other delectable treats.

One of the more unique offerings found at Karamell-Küche are the Caramel Bacon Squares. Each square contains Werther’s Original caramel and bits of bacon both inside and out. My personal favorite is the Turtle candy which is caramel with pecans with both covered in chocolate. Yummy!

A cronut is a fried delightful snack that’s a cross between a croissant and a donut and it is oh so very good! “It’s sweet, it’s warm, it’s deep fried and topped with cinnamon and sugar,” says Epcot Executive Chef Jens Dahlmann. “Simply delicious.” (Excerpt Disney Parks Blog)
