Peppermint Pattie Chocolate Covered Caramels

I am kind of obsessed with making caramels. Ever since I found how easy they were I can’t stop making them. This isn’t fairing well for trying to lose those extra Turkey pounds either. I started with theNutella Sea Salt Caramels and have now graduated to chocolate covered caramels. Specifically Peppermint Pattie chocolate covered caramels. I’ll give that a minute to sink in.

Want to know the fun part? I swapped out the cream in my regular caramel recipe and used International Delight York Peppermint Pattie Gourmet Coffee Creamer instead. Pretty cool right? Something even cooler, International Delight has a Sharable Coupon. They’d love for you to try baking with ID and share your recipe on Facebook and Pinterest! If you do they’ll donate and give back through the “Share Your Delight” program! Just register your ID Creamer UPC this holiday season, International Delight will donate 50 cents to the Coats for Kids Foundation!

Now to decide what flavor caramel to make next. Decisions, decisions.
