Three forms of caramel in one tub: the base, a swirl through it, and chunks under a chocolatey coating. They aren't repetition. As a base caramel is soft and rounded, as a swirl it's sticky and concentrated, and inside a coated chunk it's chewy, the texture the name points at. That chew is the difficult one. Anything soft enough to chew at freezer temperature has to carry a lot of sugar and very little water, since water is what turns hard and gritty when it freezes. The coating on the chunks isn't only flavour either. It puts a fat barrier between the caramel and the ice cream around it, worth having in something that sits in a freezer door for months.
