Easy and Irresistible No-Bake Chocolate Caramel Cups
These No-Bake Chocolate Caramel Cups are a decadent dessert featuring a smooth chocolate shell filled with luscious caramel. Each bite offers a delightful combination of textures and flavors – the crunch of the chocolate, the softness of the caramel, and a touch of salt that enhances the sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
- 1/2 cup caramel candies
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- Mini cupcake liners
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
- Prepare the Cups: Line a mini muffin tin with mini cupcake liners. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into each liner, using the back of a spoon to push it up the sides. Place the tray in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
- Make the Caramel Filling: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Fill the Cups: Remove the chocolate cups from the freezer and spoon the caramel mixture into each chocolate shell, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Top with Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the caramel filling, ensuring it is fully covered. Return to the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes until set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cups from the liners and sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top if desired. Enjoy your No-Bake Chocolate Caramel Cups!
