Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups roasted and salted cashews
- 14 oz caramels, unwrapped
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 10 oz milk chocolate
Instructions
- Arrange the roasted and salted cashews on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper, grouping them into small clusters that will hold together after coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and milk. Heat at 50% power for 45 seconds, then stir. Repeat in 45-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Spoon the melted caramel over each cashew cluster, ensuring the caramel seeps into the cracks to hold the clusters firmly. Allow the caramel to set for a few minutes but not harden completely.
- In a separate bowl, gently melt the milk chocolate until smooth, either using a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler setup, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Spoon the melted milk chocolate over the caramel-coated clusters, covering them evenly. Let the chocolate set and harden completely at room temperature before serving or storing.
