The caramels come in a clear plastic bag tied with a twist-tie, and then placed in a small thin cardboard box and sealed with a BEES BROTHERS sticker. It is perfect for ordering in bulk and then giving the individual boxes as gifts. Not sure how long they stay, though. I suspect that I'll never find out Tongue

Thanks for the orders and the reviews Maged and OgNasty!

We are not sure how long they last either. There are no preservatives in them so the fresher the better. We have some that we made a year ago and keep in a zip-lock bag at room temperature. Every month or so we try a couple and so far they are fine. However, we are in Utah where the humidity is very low. Because honey is so full of sugar, it absorbs moisture. If they are stored around higher humidity, they won't last as long. The high sugar content of honey also makes what moisture there is unavailable to bacteria and molds, which is why honey can last for centuries. Obviously the caramels don't do well in high heat (like left in a closed car during the summer).

For smaller gifts, we have a $3 bag of caramels that make perfect "Thank You" gifts. We have an order next week for a wedding that wants several of the smaller caramel bags.

Here you go
