Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons 45ml milk
- 6 tablespoons 84g salted butter
- 11 oz. bag of Kraft caramels* wrappers removed
- 4 –5 cups 288g-360g shredded sweetened coconut
- 4 oz. melting chocolate such as almond bark
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Caramel Base: In a large pot over medium heat, mix the milk, salted butter, and unwrapped caramels. Stir continually to ensure a smooth melt. As the mixture transforms into a velvety caramel pool, you'll be greeted by a tantalizing aroma.
- Incorporate the Coconut: Once the caramel is perfectly smooth, introduce the shredded sweetened coconut. Begin with 4 cups and gradually add more if needed. Your aim is to coat the coconut evenly without making the mixture overly wet. The result should be a delightful blend of caramel and coconut goodness.
- Shape the Macaroons: With a spoon, create mounds of the mixture—around 1 1/2 tablespoons each—onto parchment paper or a nonstick surface. Allow these dollops to cool and set completely. The anticipation will be as delicious as the final treat!
- Chocolate Drizzle and Dip: Melt the chosen chocolate (almond bark or similar) according to package instructions. Dip the base of each macaroon into the melted chocolate, then set them back on the parchment paper. For a touch of elegance, drizzle more chocolate and sprinkle a hint of sea salt. This step adds both artistry and flavor.
- Firm and Serve: Let your macaroons rest until they've firmed up entirely. With each bite, you'll experience the harmonious interplay of caramel, coconut, and chocolate with a touch of salt. Share them with loved ones or savor them as a personal indulgence. These macaroons are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Enjoy the Magic: Your No Bake Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons are ready to captivate your taste buds and those of anyone lucky enough to taste this creation. Allow the sweet and salty symphony to transport you to a realm of pure culinary delight. Dive in and experience the enchantment firsthand!
