Ingredients
- 11 ounces Wrapped Caramels (I used bulk)
- 3 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Mixed Nuts, salted
- 12 ounces White Melting Wafers (Bulk again)
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spray well with cooking spray.
- Unwrap caramels and put in a microwave bowl. Add butter and cream, and microwave for 30 second increments, stirring between each. Repeat until smooth - but use the shortest time possible to melt the caramel.
- Add the mixed nuts (and about a teaspoon of salt if you have unsalted nuts like I did) and combine well.
- Allow to rest for at least 15 minutes, mixing occasionally. The caramel will run away from the nuts if you skip this step - the mixture needs to be fairly firm before you portion it.
- Scoop or spoon onto baking sheet uniformly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Melt white chocolate in microwave for 15 second increments, stirring well until smooth. Do not overheat.
- Dip caramel cluster into white chocolate using a fork and turn to coat completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into bowl, and place candy back on baking sheet.
- If the candy gets too pliable while you are coating with chocolate, return to refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes to firm up.
- Refrigerate candy until set, 30 - 60 minutes.
