They are a huge shortcut to making Millionaires Bars at home – and save a TON of time.

If you want slightly smoother and softer caramel, you can add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream when melting the caramel – be sure to whisk in vigorously.

Then add about 1 teaspoon of melted caramel to the top of each cookie and let set.

This method doesn’t require baking – so it does save a bit of time – but is more hands on since you’ll then pour the caramel onto each cookie.

Melting chocolate can be a bit tricky if it burns – so we’re outlining two super-simple, crazy easy to get perfect melted chocolate that is perfect for dipping – that is smooth enough to dip buckeyes in, without running all over.

There are two methods outlined below that you can use – but the best way to melt chocolate for me is always using a double boiler method.

Using a double boiler (or a small pan, nested into a larger pan with water in it), add chocolate and bring the water in the bottom pan to a boil, stirring the chocolate as it melts.

Don’t overcook chocolate, or it will seize up – and be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.

If you’d like to save time, or don’t have a double boiler or pans you can nest, you can microwave this chocolate to melt as well.

Microwave chocolate or chocolate wafers in 30 second bursts, and stir in between each burst, to prevent chocolate from burning. Often chocolate melts around the bottom and the sides – and will burn if microwaved again – when a simple stir could’ve melted the remaining solid chocolate.
