I loved
these caramels as a child, and still do. I used to put one in my mouth
and see if I could suck on it until it was gone. I never could!! I
always seemed to lose my resolve and I'd just have to chew it.
By far, my favorite memory of these little caramels, is making caramel
apples with my grandma in the autumn each year. We would sit and
unwrap a bunch of caramels, and put them in a big bowl. (We would have
to eat a couple of course!) Then she would heat them up until they
were all melted. Then we would dip our apples into the hot gooey
stuff. Mmm... They were stick-to-your-teeth good!!! ~ Sarah from

Back during WWII, my mother and I lived in a quiet Philadelphia, PA
neighborhood where everyone knew everyone else. Neighbors swept their leaves into piles in the fall and then we children jumped and played
in them listening to the crunchy sound of leaves under our feet and torsos. Later in the day, men would come out of their homes and burn the
leaves giving the air the most wonderful aroma.
We had a neighbor man who always had a pocketful of caramel Cubes. There was one for
every child who came near him. Naturally, he always had a flock of us around. Sadly, we can no longer burn leaves because of the damage it
may cause. But we can still enjoy those same caramel Cubes. ~ Susan from Pennsylvania
I remember when I was around 11 me and my girl friends would run to the store every Wednesday and
grab some caramels and then someone would open the fire hydrants and we would stand under the fire hydrant trying to stay cool and eat our
caramels. All the other kids would ask us for some and we would make them share a few. There must have been 10 kids and we did not want to
give our caramels away. ~ Kirsten from Iowa Caramel
