By Bujvary

Ingredients

• 2 pounds milk chocolate candy coating, coarsely chopped, divided
• 1 cup salted cashew halves
• 28 caramels
• 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Preparation

Step 1

Line baking sheets with waxed paper and butter the paper; set aside.

In a microwave, melt 1 pound of candy coating; stir until smooth. Drop by scant tablespoonfuls onto prepared pans. Let stand until partially set, about 3 minutes. Top each with six or seven cashews. Let stand until completely set.

In a small heavy saucepan, combine caramels and cream. Cook and stir over low heat until melted; stir until smooth. Spoon over cashews. Reheat caramel over low heat if it thickens. Melt remaining candy coating; spoon over caramel. Let stand until set.
Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
