Ingredients

    • ¼ cup butter

    • ½ cup sugar

    • ½ cup brown sugar

    • ½ cup light corn syrup

    • ½ cup sweetened condensed milk

    • 3 cups milk chocolate chips

    • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

    • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt (for topping)

Instructions

    1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until smooth.

    1. Microwave the mixture for a total of 6 minutes, pausing every 2 minutes to stir. Continue until the caramel mixture has a smooth consistency.

    1. Once the caramel is cooked, pour it into a 9 x 9-inch baking pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Allow the caramel to cool completely.

    1. Once cooled, cut the caramel into squares. Arrange them on a wax-lined baking sheet and ensure they are fully set before dipping.

    1. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

    1. Dip each caramel square in the melted chocolate, then place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Repeat until all caramels are coated in chocolate.

    1. Optionally, sprinkle coarse sea salt on top of each chocolate-coated caramel.

    1. Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving or storing. Enjoy!
