Milk chocolate with salted butter caramel

Belgian milk chocolate with a salted caramel center

Dolfin’s milk chocolate with salted butter caramel is a creamy Belgian bar with 37% cocoa and bits of salted butter caramel. Sweet meets salty, melt meets crunch.

Milk chocolate with salted butter caramel is the playful side of Dolfin: creamy milk chocolate with 37% cocoa, embedded with small pieces of salted butter caramel. The caramel provides a crunch and a subtle salty edge that tames the sweetness. If you find dark chocolate too bitter, this is just the thing for you. Pure cocoa butter, real caramel, a pinch of Guérande salt – Belgian craftsmanship in its friendliest form.

Creamy melt with a salty crunch

The bar melts smooth and milky, then you encounter a piece of caramel that offers a slight crunch and a salty response. Even the color gives it away: a warm caramel brown with light veins.

Milk chocolate with 37% cocoa is sweet and creamy, almost like a caramel candy in solid form. The salted butter caramel creates contrast: sometimes creamy, sometimes crunchy, sometimes with a salty spike that brings it all together. Salty, creamy, and buttery—a triad that makes you crave a second bite before you’ve even finished the first. The finish leaves a buttery sweetness, to which the salt adds a refined length.

Salted butter caramel

The caramel makes up 10% of the bar and is cooked with cream and salted butter, plus natural flavorings. Salted butter caramel is a classic of French cuisine—caramel au beurre salé—finely embedded here in chocolate.

Dolfin calls this art of combination "The Art of Blending"—natural ingredients are added directly into the Belgian cocoa mass, in this case, caramel and a little Guérande sea salt. The salt comes from the Breton coast and is what gives the sweet caramel its tension. Without this pinch, it would just be sweet; with it, it becomes well-rounded. Precisely this interplay of sweetness and salt has made sweet-and-salty chocolate so popular for years, and Dolfin strikes an especially balanced chord. You can find that same pinch of Guérande in their dark chocolate with Guérande salt.

From a Belgian manufacturer with principles

Chocolaterie Dolfin has been based in Baulers, south of Brussels, since 1989. Belgium is considered by many to be the home of fine chocolate, and Dolfin has been part of that tradition for over three decades.

Their range of varieties has grown since then, but the principle remains the same as understood by Jean-Jacques de Gruben since he took over in 2007: pure cocoa butter, real ingredients, no artificial flavorings. Since 2021, Dolfin has consolidated its work in cocoa cultivation under the Cocoa Act 4 program.

Beach umbrellas at the Lido

This bar is part of Dolfin’s summer edition, and its wrapper depicts the red-and-white umbrellas of an Italian lido lined up along the beach. Row after row of red-and-white stripes, leading down to the water, accompanied by sand, sea, and la dolce vita—a summer day you can unfold, perfectly matched to the sweet-and-salty filling. Unwrapping it becomes a little summer greeting that also makes for a lovely gift.

Enjoy it in the afternoon with coffee, whether espresso or cappuccino. Roughly chopped, it works well over vanilla ice cream or in cookies, and with a glass of milk, it’s a favorite at the kids' table. Stored in a cool and dry place, it stays creamy—more varieties await in the Dolfin range and among the Belgian chocolate bars.
