A method for preparing a caramelized product, a kit for a caramelizable composition, a food product comprising a caramelized composition, and a caramelized sauce are disclosed. The caramelized product may be a caramel, a brittle, or a syrup. The method includes mixing a sugar alcohol and/or a non-metabolizable sugar and a dietary fiber to form a mixture, and heating the mixture at a temperature and for a length of time sufficient to caramelize the mixture. The kit includes a container and a sugar alcohol/non-metabolizable sugar and a dietary fiber in the container. The sugar alcohol/non-metabolizable sugar and the dietary fiber are present in a ratio by weight or by volume such that a mixture thereof, when heated to a temperature of from 270 F. to 350 F. for a sufficient length of time, is caramelized.
