Original Recipe Yield 25 candies

Ingredients

1 cup NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
25 soft & chewy rectangular caramels, unwrapped*
1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Directions

Line baking sheet with wax paper.
Microwave morsels and vegetable shortening in small, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute; stir. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted; cool slightly.
Dip caramel pieces, using a fork, into melted chocolate. Shake off or scrape excess chocolate against side of bowl. Place on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until set.

Footnotes

* 25 square caramels can be substituted for the rectangular caramels.
1 3/4 cups (11.5-oz. pkg.) NESTLE® TOLL HOUSE® Milk Chocolate Morsels can be substituted for the semi-sweet chocolate morsels. Melt milk chocolate morsels at MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power.
Amount of candies made may vary pending size of caramels used. If there is any melted chocolate remaining after dipping caramels, try dipping pretzels or potato chips!
