4. Chill briefly:
Place the tray in the fridge for about 10–15 minutes so the caramel can set.
5. Melt the chocolate:
In a separate bowl, melt chocolate chips (with optional coconut oil or butter) in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
6. Top with chocolate:
Spoon or drizzle melted chocolate over the caramel layer of each candy, just enough to cover.
7. Final chill:
Refrigerate the candies for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
8. Serve and store:
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature (for a few days) or in the fridge (for longer shelf life).
