Ingredients

  • 12 Kraft caramels
  • 2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream
  • 22 Ritz crackers
  • 8 ounces squares chocolate almond bark four squares
  • cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Place caramels and whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds and stir. Continue heating and stirring at 15-second intervals until smooth. Watch carefully so that the caramel sauce doesn’t boil over or burn.
  • Allow the sauce to cool and thicken, at room temperature, for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often to keep it smooth.
  • Plop about 1 teaspoon of the caramel in the center of 11 Ritz crackers.
  • Top each with another cracker and squish the caramel so that it spreads out.
  • Place the caramel sandwiches in the fridge for an hour for the caramel to harden.
  • Melt chocolate almond bark in the microwave and dip the sandwich cookies in the chocolate.
  • Place them on a silicone mat or a piece of parchment paper. Sprinkle with chopped pecans.
  • Allow the chocolate to set and harden at room temperature.
  • Store in a sealed container in the fridge.
