DIY 100 Grand Candy (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
01 -
40 soft caramels at room temp (try Werther's chewy ones)
02 -
12 oz milk chocolate chips
03 -
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
04 -
3/4 cup puffed rice cereal (like Rice Krispies)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Take 2 caramels and squish them together into a flat rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. If they're too firm, pop them in the microwave for 5 seconds. Do this with all your caramels and put them aside.
02 -
Put your chocolate chips and shortening in a bowl. Melt them together using a double boiler or your microwave at half power. Keep stirring until it's all smooth.
03 -
Dump the rice cereal into your melted chocolate and mix well until everything's coated.
04 -
Take each caramel rectangle and cover it with the crunchy chocolate mix. A fork works best - dip each piece and then run it along the bowl edge to get rid of extra chocolate.
05 -
Lay your chocolate-covered treats on waxed paper. They'll need about 1-2 hours to harden before you can eat them.
