They had me at Caramel. I've probably been to this shop at least five times since they opened. When they first opened and I saw the name,I knew I had to check them out and as soon as I walked in and saw their goods-I was hooked. This shop is located in the Nut Tree shopping center,kind of by the Merry-Go-Round. So much parking available-though the lot does get busy on weekends as anyone who goes to Nut Tree knows. So this shop is a locally owned business-they only have one location and supporting them is truly the definition of supporting local small business. They make homemade candy. It's chocolate and caramel heaven. They have so much good stuff-chocolate pretzels,chocolate-dipped red vines,chocolate peanut butter cups,caramel apples,chocolate-covered caramel-dipped marshmallows,white chocolate,dark chocolate-it's overwhelming. I make it a point to stop here almost every time I drive through Vacaville to pick up a little something-in fact I'm going to Giants game tonight,I'm most likely going to make a quick stop before the game. It's that good of a shop-they get priority status whenever passing through their town. I feel the prices are still pretty decent as well.They also have a pretty good rewards program one can sign up for in their shop. I like that you can see where they are making the candy in the back of the shop-feels a lot more authentic. They make gift bundles for like graduations and birthdays as well. I'm not sure if I've mentioned this but their candy is delicious-so tasty,chocolate is so rich-you can definitely tell it was made with love and homemade recipes. In closing, I would recommend stopping by this shop if you find yourself at the Nut Tree shopping center and give their yummy candy a try-they are bound to have something you'd enjoy. read more

It was a very cold day and we saw a sign that said "Free hot chocolate". I thought there would be a "catch" with it like we would need to buy something, but nope. We went inside and sure enough, they asked if we would like hot chocolate. I was with my family so there were about 14 of us and 6 of us wanted hot chocolate. Since we were in there, my family started to browse... That's when I knew they got us. Lol. We ended up leaving with 1 Carmel apple, and more than 7 chocolate treats, from chocolate gummy bears, chocolate marshmallows, chocolate pretzels, chocolate Carmel squares, salted Carmel and more.. so much stuff that I couldn't even count. The staff was very friendly and helped out everyone with patience and got hot chocolate for everyone too. This is a great spot and if definitely recommend this spot to anyone that is looking for a sweet treat and a free hot chocolate! read more

The spot has some if the best sweet treats in town! And there's a nice variety selection from caramel candy apples, chocolate dipped treats, etc. My favorite there are the Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Dipped S'mores which are a store favorite. The milk chocolate may a touch on rich side, but it's not too rich to me. While the dark chocolate variety has that usual kick but it nicely balanced. Lately I've been stopping in at least one every two weeks to get my S'mores fix. And the customer service at the counter is always friendly and welcoming. read more

If you're looking for fresh caramel, caramel apples, chocolates, and fudge at the Nut Tree plaza, this is your dessert spot! We parked right in front of it and the kids ran inside and they ran straight to the caramel apples and pointed at the ones they wanted! We got the mini m&m caramel apple since one of the kids has a nut allergy. There caramel is not made with nuts. The green apple was so crisp and fresh! I asked them to cut it up for me and we all got a piece and it was a nice great treat before playing on the playground and train, carousel area across from it. Service was great, it smelled so good upon walking in and nice and air conditioned. It was a $10 caramel apple but I think it was worth it! They also had some Samples too! read more

This place has become my new guilty pleasure. I love coming on Fridays because they always have a deal on their caramel apples. My favorites are the cheesecake caramel apple and the fruity pebbles caramel apple. The cheesecake apple didn't make it home... hence why it's not in the picture. . I also really like the macadamia nut or almond caramel clusters. I think of the two the macadamia is my favorite. The caramel in general is the star of the show. It is so soft and just melts in your mouth. Even after being in the fridge for a few days it's still soft and doesn't stick to your teeth when you're eating it. read more

I was visiting Vacaville on business and had the pleasure of meeting Devina when I stepped into the Caramel Company. There were SO many good things to choose from. I picked up gifts for people back home, and Devina gave me some pointers on how to keep them as fresh as possible (air!). She even included clear bags and ribbon for me to put them in when it was time to give them out. The recipients LOVED their caramel apples. I recommend these if you have someone you want to give a sweet gift to or say "thank you." I imagine these would also go over well as nice employee appreciation gifts! My only regret was not getting a macadamia cluster (the clusters are HUGE!), but I LOVED my m&m apple! Worth a 400 mile road trip back to Vacaville? Maybeeee.... read more

As always during my monthly visit. . always welcoming friendly staff. 3 folks working as they are always busy making sweet treats from caramel apples (my favorite item.), chocolate dipped strawberries, both regular and sugar free options of multiple chocolate options like caramels, Turtles, pretzel sticks and more!!! This is small locally owned store located the Nut Tree shopping area of Vacaville. U gotta at least stop by to get a dog bone for $1.Thank u caramel folks for always.aking my day a lil brighter read more

I really wanted to enjoy my experience at this location, especially since it was said be the same management with the former Rocky Mountain Fudge shop in Vacaville. However, I was disappointed to find that the recipe and quality seems to have changed significantly. I spoke to the lady behind the counter who was very nice and she assured me it was all the same apples, even though they did not look like anything I had ever purchased from Rocky Mountain fudge prior. I still wanted to give it a shot. I purchased two caramel apples today, and unfortunately, they were soft and tasted like old fruit. Upon cutting into them, I noticed the insides were brown, which raised big concerns about freshness. They even smelled like old fruit. It seems there may have been issues with proper refrigeration, as caramel apples should be kept chilled rather than left at room temperature as bacteria can actually form on caramel apples if not refrigerated properly. Additionally, the presentation left much to be desired. The apples were placed on paper that clung to the caramel, resulting in some of it coming off when I tried to remove the apple. The packaging resembled a simple liquor store brown paper bag, which didn't convey the charm of a candy shop. As for the caramel itself, it appeared grainy, and separated quite a bit and I couldn't quite put my finger on what was off about it--perhaps it had been left out for too long? I've noticed in other photos the caramel is not shiny like glass. Overall, I can't recommend spending $8 to $10 on a caramel apple here based on my experience. I hope they can improve on these aspects in the future! read more

Absolutely delicious! I got a caramel apple with peanuts and it has to be the best one I have ever eaten. The caramel was the perfect consistency and the apple was a great, crisp match. It was so good that it was on my mind for an entire month until I was back in town. The place itself was clean and spacious. The employee who helped us was patient, answered all questions, and made the ordering process seamless! A hidden gem for sure! read more

Great little shop in the Nut Tree Shopping area. We visited for some sweet treats after dinner on Friday night. Very nice staff welcomed us to the store and went through a few of their favorites. We opted to try a variety just to get a sense of what they had. We tried the almond joy bomb, the peanut butter cup, the milk chocolate clusters and the regular and salty caramel. Everything was absolutely delicious and tasted so fresh. We especially loved the Carmel!! We only wish they had more caramel selections like lollipops. Well worth a visit and great place for sweets. We will be back! read more

I'm so excited for the caramel company! I can't resist chocolate! Also glad this place opened up since Rocky Mountain is now closed In Vacaville. The staff were super friendly. I came in for a pecan caramel apple with chocolate and white chocolate and it only came in dark chocolate. They were nice enough to make it for me in a milk chocolate and it did not disappoint! I also got their butter cluster, for peanut putter lovers, this is a go get! read more

I was really excited to try this place out since I saw them on Facebook, however, when I walked in today the inside smelled like sewage. Not sure if this was just an off day or if the building is going through some issues, but it was very off putting since we're dealing with food. I bought a few small items since my parents taught me not to go into a small business without buying anything, but I ended up not eating them because I couldn't get past the smell of the store. I hope the smell is something that can be rectified. read more

I came in to grab an M&Ms caramel apple for my sister's birthday. I also tried the apple crumble caramel apple for myself. It was delicious! The employees were super helpful and I appreciate them slicing the apples before packaging! Everything looked clean and the sweets were all stocked. Thank you and I'll be back soon :) read more

The two ladies working there were very friendly and accommodating regarding my decisions. The candy, rice crispy treats and covered strawberries were very delightful and well received.

This is a great candy store. It's perfect location right across from the children's carousel for kiddos to get a treat. It's clean and welcoming with a lot of chocolate choices. Another thing I love is they have dog treats. Love this mom and pop store. read more

So, so good. This is my second review. I dare anyone who knows a bit about Louisiana sweets to go in and buy just one. You'll go back for more, I guarantee. Kinda like "bet you can't eat just one Lays potato chip ". read more

Great service from the workers everything tasted amazing super happy would recommend for a sweet treat.

Absolutely love this chocolate shop! They have so many options, chocolate covered wafers, pretzel sticks covered with caramel and M&Ms, peanut butter cups, caramel apples..all to die for. Also the pricing is more than fair! Good customer service. read more

Today they gave out free hot cocoa! It was honestly the perfect little cup and came with marshmallows, whipped cream, and pepermint. Their caramel apples can be cut and their dark chocolate covered caramel with sea salt is surprisingly soft and so decadent. read more

Good Carmel apple, chocolate great too. Parking was tricky but parked on back side and walked through the tunnel to the front.

I love chocolate! Found this gem bc I found out Rocky Mountain was closed. Glad I did as the quality of their chocolate is superior. My hubs made a run intending to get the sampler box but it is not available now. So, he just picked up a few different things. I took a bite of everything and loved each selection. The staff were friendly and helpful. Glad we found them read more

This is the third time I've come to get the almond cluster apple and they are out. This is obviously a popular apple. Please make more! It's so disappointing to come and you are always out. Also, the milk chocolate strawberries are also very hard to get. I'm almost ready to stop coming here. read more

The establishment is very clean and the employees are very helpful and nice. We had the frozen banana and frozen cheesecake. Both very very good! read more

Went here and picked up an assortment of chocolate and caramel covered treats for an event and they were really great. The service was excellent, very clean and organized with lots of options to choose from with a varied price range. This is a terrific addition to the area and seems to be unique and not much like it. Go support this business. read more

Stopped by to check out the new store today. Gal that was working was so nice! The Caramel apple we bought was delicious! Well worth a drop in to check it out. They offer other chocolate and caramel goodies in addition to caramel apples. Wish all the best for this new business in the Nut Tree. read more

I came in here kinda on a whim to find some last minute goodies for the holidays and I'm so glad I came in. The staff were so friendly and helped me pick out some sample boxes and some Christmas gifts. I also got a caramel cheesecake apple for myself and it was amazing.

My son loves the Carmel apples here! It's his favorite sweet shop. He loves to get his pups treats when he visits the shop.

Second time coming in and I was greeted with the same delight as the first time. 10/10 recommend coming to get caramel apples, fruity pebble is my favorite! it's better than endless summer sweets because the caramel is thick and creamy read more
