Caramel High

Kakawa dark choc caramel

One of my favourite things right now is the Dark Chocolate Caramel from Kakawa in Darlinghurst. Take the paper wrapper, give it a ballerina-like untwist, sink it into your mouth and chew (and chew and chew). Anyone afraid of the bitter bite of dark choc needn’t worry, as the caramel sweetens the jolt, making it dangerously easy to transform a pile of sweets into a trail of crinkled paper husks.

If you get to pick some up from Kakawa, make sure to try the Caramelised Raspberry Praline, which is one of the new additions to the cocoa line-up at the chocolatier, and possibly my second-favourite thing right now.

    That does sound so yum. They remind me, visually, of Jamican ‘Bus me Jaw’ candy (http://sams247.net/p27/BUSTA-(BUS-ME-JAW)/product_info.html?osCsid=4mfpkreabqd7d1drkd9d0go9m4)

    Literally translated it meant ‘break my jaw’ as they are made from molasses and are a serious contender for breaking your teeth! But oh so yummy…

    Thanks for all the comments! Enjoy & I hope no one breaks their jaw, as is the case with the Jamaican candy equivalent (thanks for the nice anecdote, S!).

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
