Ingredients

  • 2 cups Ghirardelli® chocolate wafers, melted, divided
  • 1 cup whole cashews, roasted, salted
  • 22 pieces Kraft® caramels
  • Ghirardelli® white chocolate wafers, melted

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper, set aside.
  • Melt 1 cup of chocolate wafers in the microwave for 35 seconds. Stir, then return and for an additional 30 seconds. Stir.
  • Using a tablespoon, add a little spoonful of chocolate on the waxed paper and continue until all the chocolate has been used, approximately 18.
  • Add 4-6 cashews on top of the chocolate.
  • Melt caramels in microwave safe dish for 30 seconds. Stir, then return for additional 15 second intervals until caramels are melted. Stir and using a spoon and small spatula, add a spoonful of caramel on top of the cashews. Have to work fast as caramel sets up fast. If that happens, just pop in microwave for 10 seconds. Continue until all the caramel has been used.
  • In the same bowl the chocolate was melted in, add another cup of chocolate wafers and microwave for 35 seconds, stir, then again for 30 seconds. Stir.
  • Spoon chocolate over the top of the caramel and let set. Can put in the fridge for faster set up.
  • Melt white chocolate wafers in the microwave at 50% power for 35 seconds, stir, then again at 15 second intervals at 50% power until smooth and creamy.
  • Drizzle over the top of each chocolate caramel cashew cluster and once set, enjoy!
