5 out of 5 starsAbsolutely the best caramels I've ever tasted, without a doubt. They are the perfect size too for a sweet little treat that simply melts in your mouth. I am fortunate enough to be local and expected to drive somewhere to meet up to receive my order but was pleasantly surprised when my order was delivered to my doorstep within two days. Excellent customer service, obviously, that doesn't come from bigger companies. I can't wait to order more caramels!

5 out of 5 starsSo delicious- my mom had gotten me the first set at the Brandywine high school fair and I had to order some more! I’ll grab one when I’m having a hard time and it makes it better 🥰
About HopesCaramels
From cupcakes to caramels
One day my husband, Brady, took some of Hope's scrumptious salted caramel cupcakes to share with coworkers. Although topped with a delectable caramel-vanilla buttercream frosting, it was the caramel core of the vanilla cupcake that caught the attention of one of his coworkers. "Could she make the caramel cupcake without the cupcake?" And so Hope's Caramels was born.

Amy
"Wrap"-er
Amy is Hope's mom. She works part-time at her real job, then pitches in one to days a week when things get a little crazy here at the caramel factory. She also works the vendor events with Hope's husband. It's one of her favorite jobs!

Sloane
"Wrap"-er
Sloane came on as seasonal help in 2017. She works the months of November and December because things can get down right "cray-cray" in the factory when caramel orders sky rocket.

Judy is also seasonal help. She came on in 2018 and we have been thankful for her hard work. She recently got a full-time job, but we keep her in the loop and are anxious to have her when she can help us out.

Shipping
Orders are shipped USPS Priority Mail, which takes only a couple of days. You will receive an email via Etsy once your caramels have shipped. A tracking number will be included in that email.
Most items ship in regional rate or flat rate boxes. If your purchase ships less expensively than what you've paid, we will refund any difference greater than $1. (Please understand the shipping rate includes postage, packaging and handling fees.) The Etsy shipping function does not always allow us to accurately charge for postage.
Hope's Caramels is happy to ship to another address. If it is for a special occasion or a gift, we will gladly write a card to go along with the gift. If choosing to do so, tell us about it and write the recipient's name and address in the comment section for the purchase. Please message us before purchasing if you want the caramels gift wrapped, as extra material and shipping costs will need to be set.
Contact us for international orders.
