World Market offers a variety of advent calendars, one of them being a caramel calendar. There are a total of twelve different caramels, twenty-four total. These are my opinions on the different flavors, rated out of five stars.

1. Dark Roasted Mocha- It smells like coffee, is not super soft and granuley. I am not someone who enjoys coffee-flavored things, aside from actual coffee, but this isn’t a super overwhelming flavor. I still didn’t quite like it, 2 stars.
2. Deep Chocolate- Its scent is very chocolatey (no surprise) and almost tastes like a brownie. I give it 4 stars.
3. Ginger Fusion- This caramel has an odd smell with a bit of a kick. It tastes almost fruity and I liked it until I didn’t anymore. As a ginger-hater, I give it 2 stars.
4. Ginger Fusion- Repeat, 2 stars.
5. Deep Chocolate- Repeat, 4 stars.
6. Cinnamon Clove- The scent of this caramel is more clove than cinnamon and has an almost pumpkin spice-esque taste to it. Not too bad, 3 stars.
7. Chocolate Peppermint- This smells just like the name and tastes like a thin mint, however the mint isn’t overpowering. I quite enjoyed this one, 5 stars.
8. Deep Chocolate- Repeat, 4 stars.
9. Cinnamon Clove- Repeat, 3 stars.
10. Cape Cod Sea Salt- It tastes like a traditional caramel. No extra notes, 4 stars.
11. Cape Cod Sea Salt- Repeat, 4 stars.
12. Anisette- I don’t quite understand this as a flavor but it is quite popular around the holidays. It smells like a tea, licorice, and flowers, while tasting like black licorice. I actually enjoyed this flavor, 4 stars.
13. Black Lava Sea Salt- This has a good caramel flavor but I was not a fan of the chunks. The added texture brought the rating down, 2 stars.
14. Black Lava Sea Salt- Repeat, 2 stars.
15. Rosemary Truffle Sea Salt- It smells weird and I don’t think truffle should be in a caramel. Just the name of it turns me away, 1 star.
16. Tapped Maple- All I know is that this flavor is not for me. No other explanation, 2 stars.
17. Tapped Maple- Repeat, 2 stars.
18. Chocolate Peppermint- Repeat, 5 stars.
19. Rosemary Truffle Sea Salt- Repeat, 1 star.
20. Classic Vanilla- A good, solid taste. You can’t go wrong with this flavor, 5 stars.
21. Classic Vanilla- Repeat, 5 stars.
22. Anisette- Repeat, 4 stars.
23. Cafe Noir- This was an immediate no just from smell alone. It tastes like espresso and I do not like coffee unless it is in a mug or martini glass. This is definitely not for me, 1 star.
24. Dark Roasted Mocha- Repeat, 2 stars.

Some may agree with my assessments on these flavors while others may have opposing views. Either way, you will never know how you feel about them unless you try them. I found this advent calendar at World Market. Let me know if you try it and what you thought of the different flavors.
