MIMOSA
(chocolate and caramel candies)

Ingredients:

3/4 cup sugar
a few drops lemon juice
6 Tbs. water
3/4 cup heavy cream, hot
1 lb. milk chocolate, melted
8 oz. semi-sweet coating chocolate
OR tempered semi-sweet chocolate
2 oz. finely chopped toffee candy bar

Directions:
  • Place sugar, lemon juice, and water in a heavy saucepan.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts and eventually becomes a light caramel color.
  • Carefully (the mixture will bubble up), add the hot cream all at once.
  • Stir over heat until smooth again.
  • Pour over melted chocolate and stir until smooth. (If mixture separates add 1 Tbs. more cream and stir)
  • Pour into a 9" x 9" square pan that is lined with buttered aluminum foil or buttered parchment paper.
  • Let cool completely, about 4 hours. (Do not refrigerate.)
  • Cut into squares, circles or triangles as desired, keeping the size small - about 1".
  • Melt semi-sweet chocolate slowly, stirring often.
  • Place candy on a fork and dip into a melted chocolate until covered.
  • Lift out and tap 2 times on edge of bowl so excess chocolate runs off.
  • Flip over onto parchment or waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
  • Sprinkle with chopped toffee candy bar and let sit until chocolate is hard.
  • Store at room temperature, tightly covered.
