I have nearly all the caramel flavors (butterscotch's and toffees too!!! :greengrin:). There really isn't one good caramel flavor that rules them all. Each one tastes very different from the others. There are European and American caramel flavors.

In my experience, making a truly decent tasting caramel, at minimum, requires a caramel and a butterscotch.

For something basic that will add a pleasant caramel note Flavour Art has you covered.

This from HIC's notes - "FA Caramel adds rich caramel to tobaccos without transforming the mix into candy. Add FA Butterscotch for bolder, sweeter caramel."

this would be a good place to start:

FA Caramel 3%
FA Butterscotch 1.5%

adding 0.25% - 0.5% FA Walnut will add a nice buttery note in the caramel/butterscotch. And a fine, yet light, walnut note.


For a more complex tasting caramel base:

FA Caramel 2%
FW Caramel Candy 1%
FW Butterscotch Ripple 3%
FA Butterscotch 2%

and to make the above more convincing and creamier add the following:

FA Madagascar (Vanilla Classic) 2%
FA Vienna Cream 0.5%
FLV Cream 1%


I've posted much on caramels/butterscotch's in the thread. Zazie has those in the Appendix of her blog.

Here: Part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4. part 5, part 6 and part 7. There is info on caramels in each of those posts. Some recipes too.

I have acquired additional caramel/butterscotch/toffee flavors since part 7. Those might be in recipes I've posted, they might be in Zazie's blog. LOLz

Hope that helps!!!
WOW that certainly helped....more than I bargained for.
Thank you J ;)

    Good morning, hitt. :) I thought you had decided to not go in.
    No, I decided to not work on my review last night. I told him I’d come in so didn’t want to let him down but kinda wish now that I hadn’t. I’m sitting outside the locked parking lot gate now and he’s not here yet.

    Well, I hope he shows up soon.

    Soooo I have a random question. What anti virus do you use and why??
    Norton. Main reason being that I've always used it. It tidies up the computer as well as keeping away viruses. More recently got Malwarebytes as well. Lately I've been thinking about a change. Norton is getting annoying. The price keeps going up and they started pushing expensive new addons that do stuff which used to be done by basic Norton, and they have constant pop-ups urging you to get new stuff.

    Morning, mixers.

    Another hot day here, at least from my perspective. The guess for tomorrow is, per their guesser, a typical winter day, 69 and windy. LOL.

    Avast, free version. Never any issues, lightweight, easy on the system.

    Malwarebytes is also well regarded, as is Webroot. Any of those 3, imo, is just fine.

    Norton. Yeah, bloatware. Many Microsoft MVPs, ie the pros, state they would NEVER put Norton on any machine. Too many hooks and tendrils into the OS. Nearly impossible to uninstall completely.

    I just cancelled my Norton.

    Good morning,David :) You will like the weather tomorrow.

    If I have any trouble getting rid of Norton I will have Paypal do it.

    I will look into the Avast.
