Caramel Crunch Chocolate Bites

Ingredients:

• 1 cup caramel sauce
• 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers or crispy rice cereal
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crunch Base:
   • In a medium bowl, mix the caramel sauce with the crushed graham crackers or crispy rice cereal until fully coated.
2. Shape the Bites:
   • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the caramel mixture and roll into small balls.
   • Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
   • In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
4. Coat the Bites:
   • Remove the caramel balls from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
   • Place the chocolate-coated bites back on the parchment-lined sheet.
5. Add Finishing Touches:
   • While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for added flavor (optional).
   • Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Once set, store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
