How to Make Chocolate Caramel Wafers

  1. Preheat oven to 225°F (107°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 14 ounces (397g) unwrapped caramels and 1/4 cup (60ml) milk.
  3. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, or until melted, stirring every minute to prevent burning.
  4. Stir until the caramel is completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Arrange vanilla wafers in a single layer on ungreased baking sheets.
  6. Spread the caramel mixture evenly over the vanilla wafers using a spoon or spatula.
  7. Place a 1-inch square of your favorite chocolate bar (about 1 ounce per wafer) on top of each caramel-covered wafer.
  8. Bake for 1-2 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and glossy.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately spread the melted chocolate evenly with an icing knife or offset spatula.
  10. While the chocolate is still slightly soft, sprinkle with chopped pecans (about 1/4 cup total, or to taste), if desired.
  11. Let the wafers cool completely on the baking sheets before serving or storing. Enjoy!
