From Huff Post’s Good News:

“Cristina Arantes of Kika’s Treats decided to start her company after a fateful visit to La Cocina in 2005. Her decadent Brazilian honey cakes and chocolate-covered caramelized graham crackers are some of the most sinful sweets ever. Arantes just launched a new collection of coconut palm sugar caramels. “La Cocina is still very much a part of my business, as Kika’s Treats donates 5 percent of its net profits back to where it all started,” Arantes said.

But if you live farther afield, consider this your invitation to join the club. Brazilian-born owner Cristina Arantes makes her treats–coconut, espresso and cacao-nib chocolate shortbread, caramelized graham crackers and Brazilian honey cakes, all enrobed in either milk or dark chocolate–with care. Be forewarned: They’re habit-forming.

Best Caramels: 2011 San Francisco International Chocolate Salon

cristina — Tue, 26 Apr 2011 22:31:14 +0000

We’re excited to announce that Kika’s Treats were voted the Best Caramel at the San Francisco Chocolate Salon in April 2011!

Kika’s Treats Salted Caramels are available in two delicious flavors: Crunchy (with bits of puffed brown rice) and Nutty (with roasted Oregon hazelnuts). These decadent caramel treats are covered in rich, bittersweet chocolate and sprinkled with delicate flakes of sea salt.

These unique caramels are made with organic coconut palm sugar, which has a natural caramel flavor with tasty butterscotch notes. This unrefined sugar comes from the sap of the coconut palm tree, which is a sustainable harvest and is good for the environment. Palm sugar has the lowest glycemic index of all natural sweeteners, making it a much healthier alternative to white refined sugar and most other sweeteners.

Sugar Rush: Honey Cakes from Kika’s Treats

From Serious Eats:

These Honey Cakes from San Francisco-based Kika’s Treats remind me a lot of Honey Cakes by Bee Desserts in the West Village. They both find roots in pão de mel, a Brazillian honey bread, but differ in the sense that those from Kika’s, while slightly more dry, are significantly more flavorful with plenty of spices like cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and even ground coffee beans.
