- 26 caramels
- 1/2 cup heavy cream / Whipping cream
- 1 cup chocolate melts
- 1 1/4 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp vegetable shortening

Instructions
- In your double broiler on medium heat, melt the caramels and chocolate melts with the heavy cream.
- Pour the caramel mixture into an 8x8 glass or metal pan that has been lined with tinfoil.
- Pop the caramel mixture into the fridge for one hour to firm up.
