Very easy and delicious, I give this 5 stars! What a beautiful presentation. I made them for Christmas gifts for friends, along with some other treats, they were perfect. I only made one change; instead of using the back of a wooden spoon to make the well for the chocolate chips and caramel to go in, since the back of my wooden spoon was too thin, I used a wine cork and gently wiggled it to make the well big enough for all of the goodies to go in. (of course I washed it!) . Works beautifully. This is a keeper for future Christmas baking. Enjoy.
