We all know that 2 of my most favorite things in this world are chocolate and caramel. And when you put them together, watch out. It's Rolo season at my parents house right now - they don't last very long between my dad and me. I saw this recipe and my first thought was I'm going to be in trouble when I make it and love it. And I was right. This is like a Riesen candy. Chocolaty, caramely and chewy.

This is really easy to make, which is a bonus. All you need is 20 minutes of your time and a candy thermometer. Use a medium size saucepan - it does boil up and takes up most of the pot once it gets going. Pour it in a pan and let cool fully and then cut into bite sized pieces. I packaged mine up in fun holiday bags to give out to people in. Everyone loved it - I'm pretty sure I need to make it again for my parents who didn't get any.
Chocolate Caramels
Line an 8" square pan with foil and brush with oil. Melt 2 sticks butter in a saucepan, then add 2 cups sugar, 1 1/4 cups light corn syrup, a 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer reaches 248 degrees, about 15 minutes. Pour into prepared pan and let cool. Cut into squares.
