Equipment

  • 1 Medium Saucepan Or microwave-safe bowl for melting caramels
  • 1 Medium Mixing Bowl For cream cheese mixture
  • 1 Electric Mixer Or sturdy whisk for beating cream cheese
  • 1 Heat-Resistant Spatula For stirring caramels and folding
  • 1 Measuring Cups

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 16 individually wrapped caramels unwrapped
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese
  • ½ cup brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Melt caramels with water in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat or in the microwave, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a medium bowl until fluffy; fold in caramel mixture. Serve immediately.

Notes

For optimal smoothness, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before beating. When melting caramels, maintain medium-low heat to prevent scorching; if using a microwave, frequent stirring is key. Allow the caramel to cool completely before folding it into the cream cheese mixture to prevent separation and achieve a consistent texture. A pinch of flaky sea salt or a dash of vanilla extract can significantly enhance the flavor profile. For presentation, consider garnishing with toasted pecans or a light dusting of cinnamon.
