Christmas baking has begun....happy, happy, happy indeed. You know what's just as happy as Christmas baking in my opinion?
These....
Who knew such goodness existed? I'm a Dove's dark chocolate girl through and through. I have some in the car, some at the office and of course, some at home. I've never ventured to any of the other flavors since they are either milk chocolate (travesty right? ) or flavors that don't turn my head for a second glance. Until these of course. These caramels are the really soft oozy caramels similar to Frans and they have that dark Dove chocolate shell. Nothing every really comes all that close to Fran's Gray Salt Caramels but these are pretty darned scrummy. They are a Target exclusive flavor so you'll need to head into that bullseye wonderland but who doesn't go to Target weekly really? Dove's and Target--I love you both dearly.
I used a standard pudding mix chocolate chip cookie recipe for that soft chewy cookie texture. If you prefer a crispy cookie, you can opt for a different cookie recipe. The Dove's caramel is really the star of this show.
These are best still warm and ooey and gooey, but the caramel stays soft even as the cookies cool.

OMG. I had no idea Doves made these but I am heading to Target this very weekend. Can't wait to try these, I've never added pudding to my cookies but I do love chewy chocolate chip cookies.
Chocolate chip cookies are forever my favorite kind of cookie and I love salt caramels too. I can't wait to find these Doves at Target! Yummy pictures especially the one with the melted caramel and chocolate.
YUMMO! I saw these at Target once and bought one bag only to find that my Target stopped carrying them. I'm so bummed because I loved them! These look so good though I might be too greedy to share my chocolates with a cookie! :)
I just found these Doves last week too! My husband hates them so just means more for me! I love the idea of putting them into a cookie!
These look fabulous. I really like your recipes and ideas.
Holy delicious! I’ve only recently found the deliciousness that is salted caramel!
You’ve swooned me again. Probably more times than my own boyfriend has, but that’s besides the point. I’m OB.SESSED with salt caramel and chocolate. This is something I see myself face-dunking in again and again.
I was headed to Target yesterday and read this just before I left. My Target had them and I bought lots of bags for stocking stuffers. I will try these cookies too. I've never heard of pudding in cookies but sounds great if it makes them soft.
So delicious looking. I like anything salt caramel!
Chocolate chip cookies are an almost weekly cookie in our house. I'm going to mix it up with these!
