Cape Cod Sea Salt Caramels

McCrea’s Candies is a Boston-based confectionery brand renowned for its handcrafted, small-batch caramels. Founded in 2009 by scientists Jason and Kate McCrea, the company began in their home kitchen and has since grown into a full-fledged operation in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. Drawing from their backgrounds in biology and chemistry, the McCreas emphasize precision and quality in their candy-making process.

McCrea’s caramels are distinguished by their use of premium, whole-food ingredients, including locally sourced cream, butter, and milk. The company avoids artificial flavors, colors, and corn syrup, ensuring a clean, authentic taste. Flavors range from classic vanilla to inventive combinations like Rosemary Truffle Sea Salt, Black Lava Sea Salt, and Single Malt Scotch.

Committed to sustainability, McCrea’s uses biodegradable, recyclable packaging printed with soy inks. Their products are gluten-free, nut-free, and soy-free, catering to a wide array of dietary preferences. The company has been recognized with several accolades, including a Good Food Award and features in publications like Martha Stewart Living and USA Today.
