    Chocolate-Covered Cocomels are Enrobed Dairy-Free Coconut Milk Caramels

    3
    By Alisa Fleming on March 18, 2015 Dairy-Free Chocolate Reviews, Product Reviews

    You might recall our full review of Cocomels Coconut Milk Caramels. Well, they make Chocolate-Covered Caramels, too! In fact, they are available in three flavors, all dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan.

    Chocolate-Covered Cocomels Coconut Milk Caramels - Dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan chewy caramels with a semi-sweet chocolate robe (Sea Salt, Vanilla and Espresso Flavors)

    Tasting Notes for Chocolate-Covered Cocomels Caramels

    Unlike their plain caramels, these caramels are shaped into squares, cloaked in a robe of semi-sweet chocolate, and sold in packages of two.

    Vanilla

    We started with this baseline flavor. The caramel had definite notes of coconut that overpowered the vanilla a bit. There were almost fruity undertones when the chocolate met the caramel on my taste buds. It was an overall sweet and tasty experience, but somehow lacked the “wow” factor for us.

Pictured: VanillaIngredients: organic coconut milk (organic coconut, water), organic brown rice syrup, organic cane sugar, organic chocolate (organic chocolate liquor, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, soy lecithin, organic vanilla extract), organic vanilla extract (water, organic ethyl alcohol, organic vanilla bean extractives), sea salt, xanthan gum.

    Nutrition (per 2 pieces): 110 calories, 5g fat, 15g carbs, 1g fiber, 11g sugars (includes 11g added sugars), 1g protein.*

    Espresso

    Almost in an effort to get it over with (I’m not a coffee fan at all!), we moved on to the Espresso next. Java lovers will enjoy the pure taste and mocha-like vibe, but it wasn’t my cup of tea (bad pun totally intended).

    Sea Salt

    But then there were the Sea Salt Chocolate-Covered Cocomels. Oh my heavens! Hands down my favorite flavor of the lot. The salt just takes the richness and caramel flavor up a notch, overriding the coconut and tying everything together. These are the dairy-free caramels I’ve been waiting for! While the caramels themselves are a magical symphony of flavors, the crystals sprinkled on top of these chocolate-covered Cocomels do pack a salty punch! (Not pictured, sorry, I ate them before the camera came out again!).

    I'm all about the sea salt

    It was a strong like, not a love when I tasted the Vanilla Chocolate-Covered Cocomels. They were just a touch to coconutty. I’m not a coffee fan, so espresso definitely wasn’t my thing. But they completely won me over with the tender, chewy Sea Salt version. That touch of ocean goodness escalated the key caramel flavors, and melded beautifully with the semi-sweet chocolate robe.

      I tried the vanilla one just now. A friend gave them to me for Christmas. They are good. The company does have a good website. According to the FAQ’s on the website, they are certified Kosher, some of them DE. They do follow a strict cleaning protocol in between to minimize the cross contamination. They are in the process of obtaining the gluten free certification, which is why it isn’t there yet.
