Ingredients

28 caramels unwrapped
1 cup milk chocolate chips
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
12 ounces chocolate candy melts or almond bark
flaked sea salt (optional) for garnish

Instructions

Line a square 8 x 8 pan with foil leaving excess over the sides to make removing easier.
In a microwave safe bowl, add caramels, chocolate chips and cream.
Heat for 1 minute, stir and continue heating for 10-15 seconds at a time until caramels and chips are almost melted.
Remove from microwave and stir until smooth. Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan.
Chill for 1 hour or until firm in the refrigerator.
Cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Remove from the refrigerator and using the extra foil, lift the caramels from the pan and place on cutting board.
Cut into 30 pieces using a sharp knife.
Roll each piece into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet.
Return to refrigerator to chill for 1 hour or until firm.
Add chocolate candy melts to a microwave safe bowl, heat for 1 minute, stir and continue heating for 10-15 seconds at a time until chocolate is almost melted.
Remove from microwave and stir until smooth.
Work with 4 or 5 truffles at a time and leave the rest in the refrigerator.
Using 2 forks, dip truffle into chocolate and allow excess chocolate to drip off, then use the second fork to remove the truffle onto the second prepared baking sheet.
Immediately add sea salt, if using.
When all the truffles are coated with chocolate, return to refrigerator to chill until firm.
Transfer to airtight container and store in refrigerator up to 2-3 weeks. Serve at room temperature.
