👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Chocolate Fudge Base

- Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Let it cool slightly to thicken, then chill to firm up.

- Scoop about a tablespoon of chocolate fudge and flatten it slightly in your hand.
- Add a small dollop (½ tsp) of caramel to the center.
- Carefully seal and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining mixture.
