No Bake Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons

No Bake Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons 

5 tbsp butter 

2 tbsp heavy cream

3 tsp brown sugar

11 oz caramels, unwrapped 

5 - 6 cups sweetened shredded coconut

4 oz chocolate almond bark

1 - 2 tsp sea salt 

In a medium sized heavy bottomed saucepan melt butter, heavy cream, brown sugar and caramels over medium heat. Stir until smooth and sugar is dissolved. Can use a double boiler to prevent scorching. 

Remove pan from heat and stir in coconut until fully combined starting with 5 cups of coconut adding more if mixture seems too wet. 

Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Scoop 1 tbsp of mixture onto parchment lined baking sheet and allow to cool and set completely. 

In a small bowl melt chocolate bark. Dip bottoms of each macaroon into chocolate and place on waxed paper or silicone baking mat. Drizzle remaining chocolate over tops of cookies. Sprinkle with sea salt before chocolate has set. 

Allow to cool completely until chocolate has fully hardened. Store in airtight container.
