Tips for making the best caramel onions:

    • You can melt the caramel candies in a pan on the stove, or via the microwave method like I did. I actually followed the directions on the back of the Kraft caramels and it worked great! The key to melting them in the microwave is to stir after each minute until fully melted.
    • Your caramel onions will need about an hour to set up in the fridge so keep that cooling time in mind when preparing these.
