My daughter likes to help with these - at age 12 the microwave candy is much safer than the stovetop alternatives.
Ingredients:
26 caramels
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp shortening
Directions:
1. Line an 8-in square pan with saran wrap and set aside.
2. Combine caramels, milk chocolate chips and cream in microwaveable bowl.
3. Microwave uncovered on high for 1 minute then stir.
4. Microwave for 1 minute longer, stirring every 15 seconds or until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth.
5. Spread mixture into plastic-coated pan and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
6. Cut chilled candy into 30 pieces and roll each into a ball.
7. Melt semi-sweet chips and shortening in the microwave, stirring frequently, until smooth.
8. Dip caramel balls in chocolate and place on waxed paper.
9. Refrigerate until firm.
