I always used to get confused between a creme caramel and a creme brulee, which could be rather annoying since I liked one of them, and loathed the other. I now know that the creme caramel is the one I like because it has a liquid caramel topping as opposed to a hardened caramel, which I find rather displeasing. It is the soft gooeyness that does it for me, and hopefully for you too. Based on the brands I used, each creme caramel should be 136 calories.
