Definitely a Perk of our travel - Caramoo Crumbles candy - an unexpected scrumptious treat Maralyn Hill found for us on our last night aboard the Holland American Ms Oosterdam cruise to Mexico.
Maralyn says she didn't find it, she was fortunate for finding Joan Joffa, j.joffaacme@verizon.net. Joan represents many wonderful companies.
I rarely eat sweets or candy, however I devoured the entire box of Caramoo Caramel Crumbles.
The International Food and Wine Travel Writer's Association (IFWTWA) had been wined and dined like royalty throughout the entire journey from San Diego to the Mexican Riviera.
This was the last night at sea, my bags were packed. I was ready for one last sleep under a full moon, the waves lapping as we glided toward the USA.
My little pillow present on top of my freshly made bed looks tempting, thought I, but the last thing I needed. John Harnish, our Infinity publisher, and I recently polished off a bowl of real French onion soup, a thick, juicy T-bone, and hot, fluffy baked potato with all the trimmings with fresh crunchy veggies. Plus, a glass of the Holland American excellent Coastal house red wine. Candy was the last thing I needed.
I thought, I will give it to Yanto, my cabin person, whom I wanted to tuck into my bag and bring home, when I handed him his extra tip.
Oh well, maybe I will try just one, just to taste what they are like. My mouth watered at first bite, so I had one more. Then I read the label. Well, no wonder. Caramoo, note the moo, is made of real cream, European butter, and other cannot resist natural ingredients.
Carmoo even contain vitamins and calcium, so might as well have another. I, a food writer, cannot adequately describe these caramel crumbles - an old fashioned flavor, reminding me of childhood treats - chewy, soft, firm, creamy, sweet, different and - addictive.
Sadly, when I awoke in the morning, we had docked in San Diego and the box of Caramoo's was empty.
Julia Child taught Maralyn and I to savor and enjoy these delicious and decadent indulgences once in a while. Now, who are we to disagree with Julia, so we joyfully follow her sage advice.

For those of you who were on the cruise, please comment on how you enjoyed these treats. Thank you Joan, for knowing how much we'd enjoy this fantastic treat.
Bet you can't eat just one.

These were fantastic. I thought I'd eat one and don't want to admit how many I really ate. Fortunately, Norm was sharing mine.
