Tifani’s Fine Caramels

A few weeks ago, we met with the owner of Tifani’s Fine Caramels, a Colorado vendor, and boy, were we in for a treat! Not only did we learn about the amazing story behind Tifani’s Fine Caramels, but we were able to taste some delicious caramels made by Gabriel Ricket, an NFL player recovering from an injury.

An NFL player with a caramel business? Yes, you heard right! Gabe grew up in Georgetown, Colorado. In December of 2016, he received a call from The Chiefs in Kansas to go play for them but unfortunately, he tore his ACL in April. There’s only so much you can do on one leg during recovery, so why not wheel around the kitchen on a scooter and make caramels? The recipe that he uses is a family recipe. The story that was passed down in his family was that the recipe dates back to when his family crossed the ocean on the Mayflower in 1620 and then, made its way to Colorado.

During the holidays, these caramels are made by his mother, Tifani, as a tradition and now Gabe wants to share them with you!

These caramels are handmade and comes in different flavors; Chocolate Pecan, Salted Oreo, Honey Toffee Caramel, Fine Walnut Caramel, and many more. Gabe is also willing to customize the flavors, if you want to try something out of the ordinary. The caramels aren’t the only thing that is handmade, the packaging is too! They either can come in a customizable handmade display box that is cherry stained or in a customizable handmade cabin. The handmade cabin and the cabin on the display box is the same cabin Gabe grew up in.
