Soft buttery caramels are dipped in creamy chocolate and topped with a little salt for the perfect treat. Our chocolate covered caramels recipe is easy-to-follow and has a recipe video to make things extra easy.
You can dip these caramels into milk, dark or even white chocolate. We love the pop of salt added to the top, but you could also drizzle a second variety of chocolate on top.
