- 1 cup soft caramel bits or chopped soft caramels
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

- If using wrapped caramels, chop them small to avoid large melted pockets.
