Dallas Caramel Co. Melts in Your Mouth
I recently received a package in the mail from The Dallas Caramel Co. Team, and oh what a sweet box it was. 😉 (Pun intended!) Rain McDermott has been baking caramel in her kitchen since 2007.

Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that she will start making some meals in the…
