The History of Béquet Confections

Béquet Confections was founded in 2001 by Robin Bequet. She was passionate about making caramel and her friends convinced her to open a business. That's when she decided to open Béquet Confections. Since then, the company has grown to become the nation’s premier gourmet caramel company. Some people even consider it the finest caramel made in the world.

The company continues to grow, and in 2019 it hit another milestone. Here's more about it from the Béquet Confections website.

My dad is a huge fan of the caramel at Béquet Confections. He lives in Idaho and asks me to send him caramel on a regular basis. If you live in the Bozeman area, you can actually visit Béquet Confections and find products that aren't available in stores.
