Notes
- You can also melt the caramel mix in the microwave. Just remember to do it in 30-second intervals to avoid any caramel explosions.
- You can substitute white melting wafers for the almond bark.
- And if you're not a fan of roasted peanuts, or you want to mix things up a bit, you can use cashews instead. They're equally delicious.
- make these brown bear claws.
- Store these in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months.
