For the Pears

For the Caramel Coating

24 oz Soft Caramels Use soft caramels for a smooth melt.
1 tbsp Water Just a splash helps to melt the caramels smoothly.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Baking Tray by lining it with greased wax paper.
Melt the Caramels in a medium saucepan over low to medium heat for about 5–7 minutes, stirring continuously.
Dip the Pears three-quarters of the way into the hot caramel, allowing excess caramel to drip back into the saucepan.
Melt the Dark Chocolate gently using a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently until smooth.
Coat the bottom halves of each caramel-coated pear in melted dark chocolate, then press into chopped nuts.
Return the chocolate-coated pears to the lined baking tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
