Polar Bear Paws
An enchanting love affair with roasted salted peanuts, ooey-gooey caramel, and rich white chocolate; homemade sweet and salty chocolates never tasted SO GOOD!!
Ingredients
- 11 ounces caramel ¹
- 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or vanilla candiquik
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add caramel and heavy whipping cream. Microwave on medium heat for 30 seconds. Remove and stir slowly. Replace in microwave for 15-second increments until smooth.
- Add peanuts to the caramel mixture and let stand to cool for about 15 minutes; stirring incrementally.
- Using a spoon or #50 disher, scoop the caramel-peanut mixture in tablespoon rounds onto a lined baking sheet; refrigerate for 30-60 minutes or until set.²
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate melting wafers. Microwave on medium heat for 30 seconds. Remove and stir slowly. Replace in microwave for 15-second increments until white chocolate is completely melted.
- Dip caramel-peanut cluster into melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool and lightly tap to remove excess chocolate; transfer to parchment paper or silicone baking mat and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes or until chocolate is set. Eat & Enjoy!
Notes
Polar Bear Paws should be stored in an airtight container; will keep for 5+ days.
¹ I used Peter's Caramel, but Kraft Caramel Bits or Squares would also be sufficient.
² If caramel-peanut clusters are not setting, place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. You can also keep it in the freezer between dipping each cluster into white chocolate.
