Does anyone else dislike caramel?

I was craving sugar but the only thing around was a bunch of caramel digestives a friend offered me..I can't stand caramel..It gets all over my hands and my face and glues my mouth shut..Somehow.

I don't like plain caramel, because of the same glueing effect in my mouth, but I like it when combined with other stuff. I like drinking hot milk with caramel or panna cotta covered with a bit of caramel. That reminds me that I could make a bit of caramel milk, maybe it will make me feel better...

I'm not terribly fond of the hard, sticky type of caramel, since I'm afraid of what it might do to my fillings. But I do like the flavour of it, and I like caramel in chocolates... Hershey's Kisses, Caramilk bars, etc.

The mention of marshmallows reminds me... I used to roast them over the stove, just like you would over a campfire. I'd just stick one on the end of a fork with a long-ish handle, and hold it over the element. If it touches it makes a real mess on the stove, but otherwise they're delicious.

I got some really good fudge on the weekend, one slice each of coffee, vanilla cream and maple cream. There's a company that sells it at fairs, events, etc., and I only see them once or twice a year, so I'm trying to ration myself to make it last...

Reminds me of the flavours from 'Fudge Kitchen'..They sell amazing fudge.

Had a bunch of good ol' fashioned Reese's Cups today
yumm :silly:

I had some chocolate cake. It didn't taste so good, but I was hungry so I had to gulp it down. Somehow the cream tasted as if it was made with olive oil. :S

Wolfing down the marshmallows here..
