Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp (45ml) milk 🥛
- 6 tbsp (84g) salted butter 🧈
- 11 oz bag Kraft caramels*, wrappers removed 🍬
- 4–5 cups (288g-360g) shredded sweetened coconut 🥥
- 4 oz melting chocolate, such as almond bark 🍫
- Sea salt 🧂
Instructions:
Step 1: Melt the Caramel Mixture
In a large pot set over medium heat, add the milk, butter, and caramels. Stir often to ensure the mixture melts smoothly without boiling. 🍯
Step 2: Combine with Coconut
Once the caramel is melted and smooth, add the shredded coconut, starting with 4 cups. Mix well until the coconut is fully coated. If needed, add more coconut to ensure the mixture is not too wet; the goal is a well-coated but manageable consistency. 🥥
Step 3: Form the Macaroons
Scoop out spoonfuls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) of the mixture onto parchment paper or another nonstick surface. 🥄
Step 4: Cool the Macaroons
Allow the macaroons to cool completely. ❄️
Step 5: Dip in Chocolate
Melt the chocolate according to the package directions in a small bowl. Dip the bottom of each macaroon into the melted chocolate, then place back onto the parchment paper. Drizzle some additional chocolate on top and sprinkle with sea salt. 🍫🧂
Step 6: Final Touches
Allow the macaroons to firm up completely. Once set, they are ready to serve. Store any leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container. 🍽️
