Ingredients
  

  • Caramel Centers
  • 30 soft caramel candies
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional
  • Chocolate Coating
  • 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • Optional Substitutes
  • Dark chocolate for a deeper less sweet version.
  • Coconut cream instead of heavy cream for dairy-free softening.
  • Sea salt flakes on top for sweet–salt contrast.

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prep your workspace.
  • Melt caramel candies with heavy cream over low heat, stirring slowly until smooth.
  • Let caramel cool slightly, then roll into small discs or balls and place on the tray.
  • Freeze caramel pieces for 20–25 minutes to make dipping easier.
  • Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until silky.
  • Dip a few frozen caramel pieces at a time into the chocolate, lift with a fork, and tap off excess.
  • Set coated pieces on parchment and refrigerate 10–15 minutes until fully hardened.

Notes

Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets.
