February 3, 2013, 7:00-9:00pm
$35 for members, $45 for the general public, $30 for children (ages 12-17; must be accompanied by an adult)

Melissa Scheiderer, talented entrepreneur and Good Food Award Finalist, heard her friends lamenting that this will be the first year in some time in which they can't give out her amazing caramels as gifts. She tried to convince them to make their own, but found they were [duly] intimidated. So now, for the very first time, Melissa is going to teach her secret recipe and precise methods to the public! Just in time for the holidays!

In this 2-hour class, you will learn to simply and safely craft your own delectable caramel chews in a home kitchen. While you will make a salted caramel variety in class, you will also learn how to modify the recipe to create endless variations on the basic format.

About Melissa
From a very early age, Melissa grew up helping her mom make caramels for their friends and family at the holidays. As an adult, she carried on the tradition and used her own culinary skills to modify and enhance mom's recipe. Bored and unchallenged after ten years in financial services, she decided to set out on her own sticky venture and created a responsible, artisanal caramel company specializing in small batch caramel products made exclusiveley with sustainably farmed ingredients. Three and a half years and thousands upon thousands of later, she's become what you might call a know-it-all on the subject.
