Hi Bold Bakers!
There are few things better than homemade Chocolates made with love. Now this is a Big and Bold statement! Some things are a culinary match made in heaven. For example, peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese and my favorite-chocolate and caramel. If you have ever been given a box of chocolates with a caramel filled one, or had a Rolo, then you will know what I mean. Now, I know what you’re thinking, it is too hard to make candy at home. However, this recipe along with a few of my favorite GoodCook kitchenware items, makes this so easy, you will never turn to the store bought version again.

My Caramel Filled Chocolates start with an insane recipe for caramel. Now do not fear, people can find candy making to be tricky, but my method for whipping up this caramel sauce really is tried and true. Take a few simple ingredients like white sugar, vanilla, water and a slap of cream. Combine these to make this sauce.

Cook the caramel to just the right point without burning it, or sacrificing any of its glorious texture. To make sure I get it right every time I love to use my Thermometer Spatula from Sweet Creations. I allow the caramel sauce to simmer away, but always get it to the perfect texture by testing it with this fantastic spatula that is non-stick, and dips right into the caramel, reading the temperature.

Once my caramel sauce has reached a temperature of 165F I allow it to cool, and get on with preparing the chocolate shell. This really is as easy as melting some chocolate and pouring it into my Sweet Creations 24 Cup Bake Perfect Mini Muffin Pan. I like this pan because it has a non-stick enameled surface so you don’t need to grease it and it has a channelled surface to ensure your muffins and cupcakes bake evenly.

Now, I don’t just use it for making cupcakes, this pan doubles as an absolutely perfect chocolate mold. Not only is it the perfect size, but it has those lovely ridges built into the bottom which give you the classic Rolo shape, at home. Plus the non-stick surface gives your chocolates a lovely shine just like professional ones.

When you are looking for a super easy sweet treat, or want to give a homemade gift, this recipe is THE ONE. Your friends and family will be so impressed and will never believe you made these from scratch!
