Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F. Unwrap and place the caramels a few inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 5 minutes to soften the caramels. They should not melt. They should just soften so that you can reshape them.
  • Meanwhile, arrange the vanilla wafer cookies, bottom sides up, on a small parchment-lined sheet pan that will fit in your freezer.
  • Remove the caramels from the oven and while they’re still warm slightly flatten each caramel into a circle shape that will fit the size of the wafer cookies. Place each flattened caramel on top of each cookie on the sheet pan.
  • Place the sheet pan of bites in the freezer for 15 minutes to flash freeze them.
  • When you’re ready to coat the bites in chocolate, place 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 seconds intervals until melted and smooth, stirring between each interval.
  • Remove half of the flash frozen bites from the freezer. Using a fork, dip and coat each bite completely in the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before transferring the coated bite to a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  • Repeat with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips and remaining bites that are in the freezer.
  • Let the bites set at room temperature until the chocolate is completely set.

Notes

  • Only soften the caramels enough so you can shape them to fit the Nilla wafers. You don’t want them to melt!
  • Store the bites in an airtight container on your kitchen counter for up to 2 weeks.
  • Nilla wafers are fragile and crumbly, so be gentle when dipping them in the melted chocolate to prevent them from falling apart.
