No Bake Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons

Delicious no bake macaroons combining creamy salted caramel with chewy coconut and a crisp chocolate layer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) milk
  • 6 tbsp (84g) salted butter
  • 11 oz bag Kraft caramels, wrappers removed
  • 45 cups (288g-360g) shredded sweetened coconut
  • 4 oz melting chocolate, such as almond bark
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. Add the milk, butter, and caramels to a large pot set over medium heat. Stir often to melt everything together without letting it boil.
  2. Once the caramel is smooth, add the coconut, starting with 4 cups. Mix until the coconut is well coated. You can add more coconut if needed, but be careful not to make it too ‘wet’ or the cookies will be gooey.
  3. Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture onto parchment paper or another nonstick surface.
  4. Let them cool completely.
  5. In a small bowl, melt the chocolate according to package instructions.
  6. Dip the bottoms of each macaroon into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper to dry. Drizzle with extra chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt.
  7. Let the cookies firm up completely, then serve. You can store them at room temperature in an airtight container.

Notes

Be careful not to overheat the caramel mixture. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Adjust the coconut to your liking.
