"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
11 ounce bag Kraft Caramel Bits
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup roasted peanuts (or cashew halves)
12 ounces CandiQuik vanilla almond bark or Ghirardelli melting wafers (see note)

Directions:
Directions:
1 Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2 Place caramels, cream, and butter in a microwave safe bowl; microwave in 30 second increments, stirring, and repeating until smooth.

3 Mix in the peanuts and then let it sit in the bowl to cool for about 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes.

4 Spoon onto the parchment in tablespoon size mounds. Place in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes until set.

5 Place vanilla almond bark and melt according to package directions, stirring until melted and smooth.

6 Dip a caramel cluster in the chocolate and use a fork to remove it. Holding it over the bowl, tap the fork on the edge to let any excess chocolate drip back down. Place clusters back on the parchment lined pan and repeat with remaining clusters.

7 Put the pan back in the fridge for 30-60 minutes until chocolate is set. Remove and enjoy or package up for a gift! Will last around 10 days in sealed container

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
- Form only a few at a time. The caramel softens to room temperature pretty easily, so I recommend taking only a few out of the refrigerator at a time when dipping them in the chocolate, otherwise they can get gooey and not hold their shape.

- Candy melts are preferred over white chocolate chips. You can use white chocolate chips (as seen in the video) instead of Candy Melts or CandiQuik Almond Bark, BUT you’ll need to mix the melted chocolate with a bit of coconut oil to ensure it hardens and sets properly.

- Polar Bear Paws will keep for around 10 days in a tightly sealed container, stored in a cool, dry place or the refrigerator. But make sure they’re room temperature before serving or someone could lose a tooth!
