Made these tonight to go on my cookie trays this year. I ended up using 24 Kraft caramels and adding 1/2 tbsp vanilla to them. Instead of melting the caramels with water, I used 1 tbsp milk. I had to use vanilla bark coating instead of the white chocolate because that's what I had on hand. They were easy to throw together and they taste really good with the vanilla coating spooned over the top. I think my family and friends are going to be very impressed. Thank you for posting!

My secret indulgence? Grocery Shopping.
I can literally spend hours roaming up and down the aisles of a Supermarket.
Sound crazy? Not if you're a self described "Foodie" like me.
I am fortunate enough to live in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. The food community here is very rich in diversity, which has allowed me to sample tasty treats from all over the planet right here at home.
Aside from the Supermarket, there are tons of smaller Ethnic Grocery Stores, Butcher shops and Bakeries here in the city.
Vancouver is also home to the Granville Island Public Market - a food lovers haven! Imagine over 100 fresh produce, local seafood, speciatly meat and gourmet shops all in the same building... no wonder I love cooking so much!
