This is a great combination of caramel and chocolate; they melt in your mouth and are so tasty. It is best served cold and you can put them on lollipop sticks and freeze them and dip them in chocolate milk, a twist that will make it a hit to kids. A great comfort food if you want something to eat to make you feel good. If you have problem about the sticky mess afterward, you can use silicone pans to avoid this problem and you will actually enjoy doing this because the caramel slips right out of the pan. No sweat with this sweet treat.
