Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon caramel mixture onto each chocolate circle, leaving 1/2 inch chocolate showing around edge. Decorate each with dried fruit or nut; press down lightly. Refrigerate just until set.
3 Gently remove candies from waxed paper. Store in single layer in airtight container.

What the heck is chocolate candy coating? Is that what you dip strawberries in?

Well I think if I had melted the chocolate on the stovetop it would have been much better. My chocolate melting in the microwave didn't work, so then I tried to melt on stove top. Had to add some liquid.

Loved this recipe. Used Cashews instead of the fruit and pecans. Absolutely delicious!
