Everyone loves caramels during the holiday season and I've got a great idea to turn them into the most beautiful candies you've ever seen. I'm Sandra Lee and this is a simple trick that you can use during any holiday. All you're gonna do is just take store-bought caramels and take them out of the package, then I want you to put just an ordinary toothpick in the center of each one. Now, I've melt a chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate, and all you're gonna do is just dip your caramel into the chocolate, give it a little shake and then add whatever decoration you would like. Now, this is sprinkles but you can add either toffees or sugar, even nuts. Now, you need to place this onto a waxed cover baking sheet, so they can set up. Now, after you dip your caramel into the chocolate, go ahead and shake off the excess and this is gonna be perfect in just some beautiful sanding sugar.

For a delicious addition to any brunch, try this! Ooey-gooey caramel rolls are one of my favorite treats, and they can be so simple to make. Here's how: I'm just gonna start with a 9-inch round cake pan. Grease it a little bit and make up a quick caramel sauce using some ice cream topping, caramel of course, and a little bit of melted butter. Just spoon that into your pan and spread it to the edges. Now, I like to add a little bit of topping to my caramel rolls. You can do whatever you'd like, but I'm gonna use some chocolate chips to add a little bit of sweet flavor

rather than regular sugar if you wanna give a little bit of caramel flavor, too. So just roll up your breadsticks and put them in the pan. You wanna leave a little bit of space between the rolls because they are gonna spread out when they bake. Once I've got all my rolls in the pan, I'm gonna put these into a 350-degree oven and bake them about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the caramel is nice and bubbly and the tops are golden brown. And now, I'm gonna take a serving plate, invert it over the top of the pan, and turn the whole thing upside down. Lift off my pan to reveal the ooey-gooey caramel rolls!
