Ingredients
  

  • 1 Batch Caramel see above
  • 12 OZ Chocolate of Choice

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a batch of caramel candy and set it aside.
  • When you are ready temper the chocolate. This can be done in a double boilers or by placing the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl and heating on high in 30 second increment. Stirring thoroughly between each one until the chocolate has fully melted.
  • If using a chocolate mold coat the bottom and sides of the molds with chocolate and let it set up, about 15 minutes.
  • Cut the caramel into pieces of choice either to place inside your chocolate mold or desired shapes for dipping. Place the caramel in the coated chocolate molds if using.
  • Either top the chocolate molds with more chocolate to cover the caramel or dip your caramel pieces to coat in the melted chocolate.
  • Allow the chocolate to either solidify in the mold or place the coated pieces on a piece of parchment paper to solidify at room temperature.
  • Share if you want and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using a candy thermometer is helpful, especially for beginners, but if you don’t have one, watch for your sugar to turn a light golden. Once color appears, it will go fast, so carefully observe it, but DO NOT STIR. Overly dark caramel will yield a much firmer texture, so make sure you are watching it.
  • This caramel candy recipe works with both salted and unsalted butter. I prefer unsalted so I can control the amount of salt in the end.
  • You can substitute brown sugar for the granulated sugar, keep in mind the brown sugar will yield a darker, more molasses-type flavor profile to the final caramel.
  • If you want this dairy-free you can use coconut cream in place of the heavy cream and sub in palm shortening (half the amount) for butter.
  • If you can handle dairy and want to make these even fancier, you can sub in whipped cream or condensed milk (they make a coconut condensed milk as well for dairy-free)
