Asher’s Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels Review

About Asher's Chocolate

Now run by the fourth generation of the Asher’s family, Asher’s Chocolates is the oldest confection company in the United States. In 1892, they opened their first shop in Philadelphia. Their small staff offered homemade goods and rare candies. Eventually their company outgrew its location and purchased 31 acres of farmland in Souderton, Pennsylvania and the former Goss Candies located in Lewistown, Pennsylvania.

In March of 2011, Asher’s Chocolates announced that they are a landfill free company. Asher’s efforts to conserve natural resources has allowed them to generate enough renewable energy to power over 300,000 homes each day.

Asher's Chocolate Review

Ashers Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels

Matt and I spent a lot of time browsing their website as we tried to decide which variety of chocolates to review. Our list of possibilities included chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter and chocolate swirled seashells, and milk chocolate s’mores.

We decided to try their Milk Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels. The vanilla caramel is dipped in milk chocolate and sprinkled with sea salt. This was the first time we tried a combination of salty and sweet candy. When you first take a bite, you taste the milk chocolate and then you get a mixture of salt and sweetness as you chew the caramel. The caramel and chocolate were rich and the salt added an extra mixture of taste. Sea Salt Chocolate

The presentation of the chocolates was nice. Our caramels arrived in a box with a see-through top. Despite the warm weather, their shipment arrived cold and in perfect condition. They also offer a variety of gift baskets and assorted boxes of chocolates. Many of the chocolates and candies are available as sugar-free options. Asher's Chocolate Gift Basket

    Seriously, anything milk chocolate. Particularly if it has nuts, and slightly less if it is too chewy, but their smores chocolates look awesome, as do their peanut butter smoothie.

    Since I love peanut butter and milk chocolate, I would say my favorite is the “Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter Pretzel” 🙂
