Mother Acres Tallow Caramels
Original Salted | Craft Caramels
From Field to Flavor
This is the caramel that started it all. From our kitchen to your home.
At Mother Acres, we believe the best flavors come from tradition, patience, and real ingredients. Our Original Salted Tallow Caramels are a nod to old-world candy making—slow-cooked, hand-cut, and finished with intention.
Buttery soft and deeply rich, each caramel is crafted using rendered tallow, raw dairy, real sugar, and vanilla, then finished with a delicate crunch of sea salt. The result is a balanced, indulgent caramel that’s not overly sweet—just like Ma would’ve made.
It might surprise you, but beef fat has a long and proud history in dessert-making. Long before modern oils and shortening, cooks relied on rendered animal fats for richness and texture—think of the suet that gives classic puddings and mince pies their signature lightness at Christmas.
Tallow in candy isn’t new—it’s traditional.
In our caramels, tallow delivers a silky mouthfeel and depth of flavor that plant oils simply can’t replicate. It’s what gives these caramels their buttery softness without being cloying, and why they melt so cleanly on the tongue.
This is old-world technique, brought back with intention—from field to flavor.
No shortcuts. No fillers. Just honest ingredients and time-tested technique.
What’s Inside
-
12 individually wrapped craft caramels
-
Handmade in Austin, Texas
-
Crafted with raw dairy (raw cream and raw butter), real sugar, and tallow

Because each caramel is hand-cut, slight variations in size and salt distribution are natural—and a mark of true craftsmanship.
Craft Details
Our caramels are sold by count and weight, ensuring you receive exactly what you paid for—every time. The wrapping process may gently press salt crystals into the caramel surface, so appearance may vary slightly from piece to piece.
That’s the beauty of handmade.
Shelf Life & Storage
Our caramels are best enjoyed fresh.
(Though fair warning—most don’t last that long.)
