What happens when a professional DIYer starts a caramel company?  She can't resist showing other people how to make caramel too, and fix it when it doesn't turn out right.  Because there is nothing more frustrating than messing it up and it happens to all candy-makers the world over…just trying to help. I made this video in the Tastemade Studios where they do this thing all day long.  If you've watched lots of youtube cooking shows you may recognize this kitchen set from other videos.  It's been featured in many… enjoy! I set this to my all-time favorite French song Les Copains D'abords, a George Brassens song. If you like French folk music, you should check this guy out.  He's like the Jonny Cash of France.

So what do you do when it's the holidays and you feel like making a product that people will love, for sure for sure, that is impossible to not like because it is so delectable, delicious, scrumptious, and irresistible?  You start a chocolate company of course.  It started out as a quasi-experiment.  A holiday project.We decided to name ours Rose Avenue Sweets after the street we live on.  What else has so much mass appeal, is fun to make and is such and easy sell.  This was my reasoning when I began my little chocolate company about 5 months ago, thinking of what to do for the holidays.  I've been making caramel for 15 years now and although I'd never sold them, they are a favorite among friends.  I wanted to document all the fun, and work that I have put into this project on my site to inspire those of you out there that want to start a little something to not be afraid and just jump in with two feet.  It's an adventure and I learn something every day with thi
