Heavenly Confections

The Mendota Heights Visitation Sisters have been selling their homemade gourmet caramels since the 1950’s. It has become a time honored tradition to enjoy these little bits of heaven during the Christmas season. The Sisters continue to cook these delightful candies from the original recipe which was handed down from Sister Margaret Mary Burke’s mother and is over 100 years old. Caramels are made year round and can be purchased from the Sisters at any time. Look on the VisitationSisters.com website for the Caramel Order Form.

Caramel Contest
The 2006 Christmas season was the busiest yet! The Sisters and their faithful volunteers worked day and night to fill all the orders. Because of all the interest in the caramels, a contest was run for the Sisters and Convent and school employees to guess how many caramels were cooked during 2006. The number was to include all the caramels eaten, given away and sold. The guesses started at 2,200 and went up to 1,527,000. The winning guess of 36,000 was submitted by an infirmary night health care aide. The actual number of caramels cooked in 2006 was 34,560!






We joyfully celebrated our 40th year in Mendota Heights on July 15, 2006!
