If you love the warm, cozy flavours of gingerbread and the buttery richness of homemade caramel, these gingerbread chewy caramels are going to be your new holiday favourite.

Chewy caramels are a holiday tradition in my kitchen and one of the treats I’m best known for. With their rich, buttery flavour and perfectly soft texture, they’re a crowd-pleaser every time. The best part? They’re naturally gluten free, made with simple ingredients like sugar, corn syrup, cream, salt, and vanilla. There’s something magical about transforming these basic pantry staples into golden, melt-in-your-mouth caramels. They’re the kind of treat that brings back memories of cozy winter evenings and holiday gatherings.
Making chewy caramels is a labour of love—it takes time, patience, and just the right technique to get them perfect. But for me, the process is as enjoyable as the result. There’s something deeply satisfying about watching the sugar mixture bubble away and reach the exact temperature to create that chewy, delightful texture. Whether I’m wrapping them up as gifts or sharing them with family and friends, these caramels have become a cherished part of my holiday traditions.
