Ingredients
- 26 caramels
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chocolate melts
- 1¼ dark chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp vegetable shortening
- 1 tbsp coarsely ground sea salt or Himalayan salt
Instructions
- In your double broiler on medium heat, melt the caramels and chocolate melts with the heavy cream.
- Pour the caramel mixture into an 8x8 glass or metal pan that has been lined with aluminum foil.
- Pop the caramel mixture into the fridge for one hour to firm up.
- Remove the caramel from the pan and cut into 30 equal pieces.
- Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball and place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with wax paper.
- Put caramel balls into the freezer for one hour.
- In a small mixing bowl, melt the chocolate chips and the vegetable shortening in the microwave slowly. It is recommended to use 50% power with 20 second intervals, stirring in between each interval.
- Dip the frozen caramel balls into the chocolate and tap the side of the bowl lightly to remove any excess chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Notes
- Wax paper is preferable to parchment paper.
- The caramels, chocolate melts and cream can also be warmed in the microwave but it takes a bit more time to melt.
- Use the same method for melting the caramel as you do for the chocolate chips.
