Sounds super easy and tasty!! Did you do two seperate chocolates....like you had white clusters and then regular chocolate clusters or did you mix the chips? Just curious.

I mixed them together. I cant eat it due to my intolerances so I didnt get to sample. You could do either though I'm sure. It is really easy. I also used a slotted metal spoon when I dipped the caramel clusters into the chocolate so the excess chocolate could drip out easily.
