Welcome to Clairesquares, where every bite tells a story of tradition, passion, and pure indulgence. Founded in 2006 by Claire, our journey began long before that, rooted in the charming landscapes of County Cork, Ireland.
Claire's love affair with crafting delicious treats started at the tender age of 12, inspired by her mother's cherished recipe books. With a curious spirit and a kitchen full of ambition, she delved into the art of confectionery, experimenting with flavors like fudge, butterscotch, toffee, and caramel. However, it was her creation of the caramel square—a divine fusion of buttery shortbread, rich caramel, and decadent chocolate—that truly stole hearts.
As a young entrepreneur, Claire's passion for her craft only grew stronger. She introduced her caramel squares to her schoolmates, who quickly became hooked, eagerly anticipating each batch she brought forth. This early success fueled Claire's dream of sharing her Irish delights with the world.
Years later, amidst the vibrant streets of San Francisco, Claire found herself yearning for the tastes of home. Returning to her roots, she whipped up a batch of her beloved caramel squares for friends, evoking the same awe and delight as they had in her youth. Encouraged by their unwavering enthusiasm and relentless requests for more, Claire embarked on a new journey, transitioning from a career in environmental science to follow her true calling.
