About Us
Our Products
Carmel Yum Yums are caramelized corn puffs that come in a variety of flavors! They're gluten-free, contain no added artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup, and are oven-baked and caramelized by hand in my nut-free commercial kitchen. Established in 2014, Carmel Yum Yums are a great alternative to traditional caramel corn for anyone! They are celiac-friendly and have no hulls, seeds, or kernels to get stuck in your teeth. There are many flavors to choose from, including a flavor of the month that follows the forever-changing seasons of Michigan! Our most popular flavors are Original Caramel, French Toast, Caramel Cheesecake, and Sweet & Spicy Cajun. Add a bit of milk, and they become the gourmet cereal you have always craved! YUM
My Story
- I had been making our original caramel flavor at home for many years as Christmas gifts for friends and family. One year, I decided to start filling buckets with Carmel Yum Yums instead of the gift bags I usually gave out. The response was tremendous! The next year, they all brought their buckets to me for refills before the holiday and Caramel Yum Yums the business was formed.
- After plenty of research, I began to work with the Small Business Development Center and started selling my products at a local Farmer's Market in 2014.
- I was quickly approached about becoming a wholesaler to local businesses. With things taking off so quickly, I needed more space! In January 2016, I was lucky enough to find my small commercial kitchen in Otisville, MI, allowing me to grow my business!
- In 2015, I won two awards: the SPARK Award for innovative ideas in Genesee County and the Re: con BOOM Award (Be Our Own Motivation) for Entrepreneur of the Year in the State of Michigan.
