Easy Caramel Bars (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
40 soft caramels, unwrapped and at room temperature
02 -
1 teaspoon of vegetable fat
03 -
3/4 cup puffed rice cereal
04 -
12 oz of chocolate chips made with milk
# Instructions:
01 -
Take two caramels and press them together into a rectangle about half an inch thick. If they’re too firm, heat them for 5 seconds in the microwave to make them easier to shape. Do this for all caramels, then set aside.
02 -
In a bowl, combine the chocolate chips with the shortening. Heat until melted in a double boiler or microwave at medium power. Don’t forget to stir often to get a smooth texture.
03 -
Fold the puffed rice cereal into the melted chocolate blend. Mix until it’s evenly coated.
04 -
Dip each caramel rectangle into the chocolate mixture, using a fork to coat it. Scrape off extra chocolate by sliding the caramel against the edge of the bowl.
05 -
Arrange the chocolate-dipped caramel on wax paper. Leave them alone for 1-2 hours to set completely before enjoying.
