No Bake Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons
These Salted Caramel Coconut Macaroons are no bake and so easy to make! They are the perfect mix of coconut, caramel and chocolate! I’m in love!
So we are only about 3 weeks away from Christmas. Can you believe it?! It’s going to come SO fast! Normally at this point I like to have all of our decorations up, but this year I’ve had a few dilemmas.
One is the traveling. We were out of town for Thanksgiving and then my parents were in town visiting this weekend. Not to mention we’ve had a ton of rain, which makes it hard to go get a tree outside. I’m pretty sure it has been raining like this the last 3 years when we’ve gotten our tree. Crazy coincidence?
And this year we have some of the hubs’ family visiting from South Africa for Christmas. Normally I put our tree up so early that by the time the actual day of Christmas rolls around, it’s getting a little droopy. We don’t want that to happen this year because we don’t ever have his family here from South Africa and we both want it to be nice.
NO BAKE SALTED CARAMEL COCONUT MACAROONS
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 tbsp (45ml) milk
- 6 tbsp (84g) salted butter
- 11 oz bag Kraft caramels*, wrappers removed
- 4-5 cups (288g-360g) shredded sweetened coconut
- 4 oz melting chocolate, such as almond bark
- Sea salt
DIRECTIONS:
- Add the milk, butter and caramels to a large pot set over medium heat. Allow everything to melt, stirring often so that the mixture doesn’t boil.
- When the caramel is melted and smooth, add the coconut, starting with 4 cups. Mix together until the coconut is well coated with caramel. Add additional coconut as needed so that the coconut is all well covered, but not too “wet” or the final cookies will end up gooey.
- Scoop out spoonfuls of about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture onto parchment paper, or another nonstick paper.
- Allow to cool completely.
