# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Flatten two caramels together into a 1.25-centimeter thick rectangle. If needed, microwave for 5 seconds to soften for easier shaping. Repeat with remaining caramels and set aside.

Combine milk chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a heatproof bowl. Melt using a double boiler or microwave at half power, stirring frequently until smooth.
03 -
Fold crispy rice cereal into the melted chocolate until evenly combined.

Using a fork, cover each caramel rectangle with the chocolate-cereal mixture, ensuring the bottom is coated. Remove excess chocolate by running each piece along the bowl's edge.

Place coated pieces on waxed paper and allow to firm at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours before serving.
# Extra Suggestions:

Use high-quality milk chocolate for best flavor. Ensure caramels are soft enough to flatten easily. Store finished pieces in an airtight container at room temperature.
