The Caramel Factory — Restaurant in Batesville

i’m giving this two star only because I have not made the dip mixes . planning on using those for the holidays . we travel through Baitesville two times per year and stay a week or more . we have driven by the Caramel factory many times over the last 6 years . we decided to finally stop. we spent 60.00 1 sea salt fudge is exactly what it said total SEA SALT . put it out for the deers , a total salt lick . it’s horrible . Tossed in the garbage HORRID SALT . The chocolate fudge!! is horrid as well , hard and salty no fudge flavor , no sweet sugar tasted, in the garbage it went . The caramel corn only 3 bags on the shelf , we bought one , nothing to brag about , we could buy this at any grocery store . the cheese straws were just okay , I was new to this cheese straw stuff , but I would not buy it again . Starchy The turtle brownies , yep ….the same … not good . toss away also . I guess we are spoiled from good caramel up north . when you walk into a candy shop / caramel shop you can smell the caramel and candy when you enter the shop. Not at the caramel factory . no candy smell at all . I should have figured that when I entered and had the thought “ I do not smell caramel or candy .you should smell caramel candy aroma . Some people have given good reviews , I guess our taste buds are different . we have been there and will never return to the caramel factory . hopefully my dip pkg will be better , I bought them for the holidays , i’m now thinking I will not use them for guests . I will go back to homemade . I hate giving a review like this , yet I’m tired of my money being waisted . cut downs since covid , pay...

This review is long overdue. I kept getting sidetracked, but it is better late than never!

The quality of the treats in this location are amazing. I enjoyed stopping in and grabbing the turtle brownies, cookies, sweet/salty snacks, caramel cakes, and browsing the adorable gifts available in the store. I tried to purchase something new at each visit, and I enjoyed everything!

Lets talk about the caramel cakes...oh my goodness. If you haven't tried these scrumptious cakes then you're missing out! They are fresh, moist, and extremely flavorful. The cake has a buttery flavor and nice texture, but the caramel icing is the star of this dessert. We relocated, and I miss visiting this shop. I recently ordered a container of the frosting to make a cake at home, and I was not disappointed.

The staff was friendly and helpful when I had any questions. The store is always clean and inviting. I would highly recommend The Caramel Factory if you're in the...

Is there a better caramel cake than those from The Caramel Factory ?? 🤔 Ummm, Nope!!

Update 1 Week Later: Picked up my special order 10” Caramel cake today. It is for Christmas dinner tomorrow, and I am sure it will be almost as good as before. However, I am reducing my rating by 2 stars. When I arrived home and opened the cake box, I find that half the icing is pooled around the bottom because it had been applied to a very warm cake. The icing left, on the cake, was very thin. Considering the cost, plus an hour round trip, I am very disappointed. The 8” cakes, for sale and out on display, looked like their great cakes normally do. Had I known, I would much rather have had one of those. Better luck next...
