  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt your white chocolate in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.

Notes

Tips and Tricks for these Polar Bear Claws:
  • You can dip these in white almond bark or any white chocolate melting discs.
  • You can use any kind of sprinkle on top for the different seasons (Valentine's Day sprinkles would be perfect in February).
  • Store these in an airtight container for up to a week to keep fresh.
  • You can keep these for up to 2 months in the freezer.
  • You can use cashews instead of peanuts (or a mixture of both) and they are equally delicious.
  • You can totally skip the stovetop and melt the caramels in the microwave in 30 second intervals until fully melted and smooth.
