Preparation

Step 1

1. Mix flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add milk, butter and egg and beat until smooth. Set 10 caramels aside. Unwrap remaining caramels and cut each into 4 pieces. Stir caramel into batter. Pour into greased 8 x 8-inch baking dish.

2. Combine brown sugar and flour in a small bowl. Cut in 2 tablespoons butter with a pastry blender or 2 forks. Sprinkle over coffee cake. Top with chocolate chips. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

3. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes until browned and done in center. Remove to wire rack to cool. Unwrap and microwave the 10 reserved caramels and 1 tablespoon milk for about 45 seconds, until caramels are melted and smooth. Drizzle over coffee cake and serve immediately.
