Salted caramels are the ultimate treat for anyone who loves the combination of salty and sweet. The candy experts at Sweettrio from Grafton, Wisconsin, put together this decadent box of salted caramels. Half of the caramels are dipped in dark chocolate, the other half in milk chocolate, and each candy is topped with just the right amount of sea salt. The sea salt not only provides a flavor contrast for the sweetness of the chocolate, but also adds a slight crunch that fits perfectly with the velvety caramel inside. With salted caramels this good, there’s no need to wait for a holiday to give a yummy sweet and salty gift.
Kitchen gifts can be tricky, especially if you are a man thinking about giving a kitchen gift to a lady friend. You don’t want a toaster to say “Make me breakfast!” or new dishwasher to say “Get cleaning!”. That doesn’t mean you need to stay away from kitchen gifts all together. First ask yourself, does my significant other enjoy spending time in the kitchen? If the answer is yes, a kitchen gift might be the right gift for her. Be sure to pick something that is more fashionable than functional, like a personalized pie plate or a retro-style apron. That way, your kitchen gift will help her enjoy her time in the kitchen, instead of implying that she needs to get to work cooking and cleaning. If you have any doubts about whether your sweetie will enjoy a kitchen gift, it’s better to be safe than sorry, get her some flowers or chocolates instead.

Or, maybe try seasonal cookies like leaves for a fall nuptials or snowflakes for winter weddings. The cookie possibilities are endless so shop for beautiful cookies for any occasion or personality on Wisconsinmade.com.
Thick bacon can take any breakfast to the next level of awesomeness, and if you thought that extra meaty thick bacon was only for restaurants, think again. Nueske applewood smoked bacon comes in a variety of thicknesses- thin, thick, and now, super thick. Thick bacon is also great to cook with since it provides meatier chunks than your average bacon. I like to use in my Bacon Jalapeno Mac and Cheese or as a pizza topping.
Artisan cheese is a phrase that gets thrown around a lot these days, but there are specific requirements for a cheese to be considered an artisan cheese. According to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board artisan cheese describes “cheese made in small batches, often with milk from a limited number of farms. Having unique texture or taste profiles developed in small sealed production or by specialized producers.” Some Wisconsin artisan cheese favorites are available for shipment nationwide at Wisconsinmade.com. Harmony Specialty Dairy Foods for example, ships their British- style cheeses that are made with milk from only one farm. Carr Valley Cheese also has a variety of unique artisan cheeses created by Master Cheesemaker Sid Cook. Even if you don’t live in Wisconsin, you can get these delicious artisan cheeses and more at Wisconsinmade.com.
