Polar Bear Paws Candies

🧂 Ingredients

• 11 oz Kraft caramel bits

  (or unwrapped caramel squares)
• 3 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ¼ cups unsalted peanuts
• 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers

  (or vanilla almond bark)

Instructions

• 1 Line a large cookie sheet with wax or parchment paper and set it aside.
• 2 Combine the 11 oz Kraft caramel bits, 3 tablespoon heavy whipping cream, and 1
  tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments,
  stirring between each one so that it doesn't burn, until the caramel is smooth
  and glossy. This usually takes 90-120 seconds total.
• 3 Stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract then mix in the 1 ¼ cups unsalted
  peanuts. Let the caramel mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
• 4 Spoon heaping tablespoons of the caramel peanut mixture onto your prepared
  baking sheet with space between them so they don't spread out and stick
  together. After using up all of the caramel/peanuts, pop it in the freezer for
  10 minutes to set.
• 5 Prepare the 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers as directed on the package. Dip
  each caramel cluster into the melted chocolate and flip it over so that it is
  coated on all sides. Use a fork to remove each cluster from the chocolate and
  return it to the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with each caramel
  cluster.
• 6 Let the chocolate set before serving.
