My October Brooklyn Candy Challenge continues at Liddabit Sweets. Now, I was a little overwhelmed with the various types of sweets they offer, and deciding what to pick. Their collection ranges from lollipops, to candy bars, to popcorn. So, I had to ask what I should try. Caramel? Done. 

I was told one of the most popular is the Beer and Pretzel Caramel. At Liddabit, they’re using as many local and seasonal ingredients as they can. So, in these you’ll find Brooklyn Brewery’s beer and Martin’s pretzels. 

Ho.Ly.Damn. This little sucker was incredible and packed with flavor! Creamy and smooth, without any of the tackiness of other common caramels, it melts in your mouth. The caramel itself is subtly sweet, maybe cut by the beer (although I really didn’t get much of the beer flavor). Then, you get these little nuggets of the salty, crunchy pretzel. 

It’s the age old, award winning combination of salty and sweet. Liddabit, you knocked it out of the park. Oh, and did I mention they have a cookbook out? The holiday season is around the corner…anyone is welcome to send me a copy.
