Great project for a 4-H club or similar kids' group. Double boiler works best. Looks great when finished. Could be made more adult tasting with a little sea salt on the dark chocolate ones!
Use parchment paper instead of waxed. You won't be sorry!
I gave these out as Christmas gifts at the office and everyone raved about them.I recommend using a double boiler instead of the microwave to melt caramels and chocolate. It is easier to check how each is melting and to keep it warm enough for dipping.
i didnt like how the carmel stuck to the wax paper so i thin next time ill try something eles instead of wax paper.
