Ingredients:

Serving

1 package (14 oz) caramels
2 tbsp water
6 large firm pears with stems
1 cup chopped cashews , hazelnuts or almonds
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1-1/2 tsp shortening, divided
1/3 cup vanilla or white chips

In a heavy saucepan, heat caramels and water over low heat just until caramels are melted. Remove from the heat; cool slightly. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each pear so it sits flat.

In a heavy saucepan or microwave, melt chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon shortening; stir until smooth. In another saucepan, melt vanilla chips with remaining shortening; stir until smooth. Drizzle melted chips over pears and stems. Let stand until set. Yield: 6 servings.
