Video
Equipment
- Baking Sheet (for setting the candies)
- Wax Paper (to prevent the candies from sticking)
- 2 Microwave-Safe Bowls (for microwaving the chocolate and caramel separately)
Ingredients
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips, divided
- 1½ cups peanuts
- 28 wrapped caramels (unwrapped!)
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
- Put 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring after each burst until melted and smooth. Spoon chocolate by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Immediately place a spoonful of peanuts onto each puddle of chocolate.
- Place the caramels in a microwave-safe bowl with the cream. Microwave for one minute, then stir, and then microwave another minute- stir until melted and smooth. Let cool a bit or the caramel will melt the chocolate! Spoon the caramel onto the middle of each peanut cluster.
- Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the same manner; stir until smooth. Spoon the chocolate over the caramel. Let stand until set, or immediately put in refrigerator to set.
