About Éclats de caramel

Éclats de caramel are small broken pieces of cooked sugar caramel, used as a crunchy sweet inclusion or topping in desserts, confectionery and baked goods. The term describes a processed caramel form, not a distinct variety of sugar. Recipes may differ in whether the caramel contains added cream, butter or other ingredients, so the name alone does not guarantee a plain sugar-only product.

The pieces are typically amber to deep brown, hard and brittle when dry, with a sweet, toasted flavour that can range from mild to slightly bitter. They may be coarse chips or finer fragments, and can soften or become sticky when exposed to moisture. Some commercial versions are coated or blended with other ingredients.
