deux sucettes au caramel

Bonjour

Can one as an alternative to "deux sucettes au caramel" write "deux sucettes caramélisées"? This is in line with phrases like "porc salé" and "bouillon aromatisé".

Or, does "deux sucettes au caramel" imply lollipops that contain pieces of caramel compared to "deux sucettes caramélisées" that implies lollipops with a caramel flavour?

Maybe a rectification may help clarity in Céline's response to Derek"although in formal written work 'en' would be placed after 'être'."

The above quote I think, should have AFTER replaced with BEFORE.

Something I wanted to check with you. . .

I searched quinze heures et quart on Google Search, and found that it is acceptable, however my answer was reported wrong. Please let me know if I have done something wrong, and I appreciate your efforts? Thank you.

I’m sorry. After 2 weeks of getting these wrong, I am just not getting this.

In my last test the answer was ‘le jour de Pâques‘. I got it wrong. Now the answer is ‘à la Sainte-Catherine‘. I got it wrong. Next the answer is ‘à Noël’. I got it wrong. Could you put all the rules on one page please, so I can see the pattern? Thanks.
