Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 egg.

- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of caramel candies and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
