There’s something timeless about the combination of chocolate and caramel. Each bite is a delicious blend of creamy caramel and velvety chocolate that melts in your mouth, leaving a hint of sweetness and just a touch of salt. If you’re a fan of decadent treats and are looking to bring the joy of confectionery into your own kitchen, this recipe for homemade chocolate caramels is the perfect way to indulge. Made with just a few simple ingredients, these caramels are surprisingly easy to create, and you’ll end up with a batch that rivals anything you could buy in a store.

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.

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

  3. 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.

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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

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

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