Ingredients
Scale
- 30 soft chewy caramels, unwrapped
- 12 oz milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or semi-sweet chocolate (melting wafers or chopped)
- 1 tsp flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts or crushed pretzels (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Unwrap the caramels and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. Chill briefly if very soft.
- Melt the chocolate slowly using a microwave in short intervals or a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Let the melted chocolate cool slightly so it thickens just enough for dipping.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each caramel into the chocolate, turning to coat completely.
- Lift the caramel out, tap gently to remove excess chocolate, and place it back on the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with sea salt or toppings while the chocolate is still wet, if desired.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature until firm before serving or storing.
