Soft delicious caramel, salty cashews and a delicious coating of milk chocolate come together to make these fun bear claw candies. They are simple to make, cute and oh so tasty!
Line a cookie sheet or two with wax paper or parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, slowly melt together butter, cream and caramel over low heat. Stir it frequently until it can be stirred smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped cashews. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Scoop a Tablespoon or small cookie scoop worth of caramel mixture onto the wax or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Continue scooping bits of caramel onto the sheets, leaving room in between until the caramel mixture is all used.
Place sheet pans into freezer for at least 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt milk chocolate in a double boiler.
When the caramels are frozen, they should pull off the wax paper easily. Dip each one in the melted milk chocolate, using a fork to make sure they are completely covered. Tap the fork on the edge of the pan a couple of times to help extra chocolate run off and then place back on wax paper.
Quickly place three cashews into chocolate to form bear claws.
Continue until all candies are dipped.
Allow to set completely and then store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve.
