Chocolate-Covered 7-Minute Microwave Caramels
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), melted (I use unsalted, use salted for saltier caramels)

- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup (light in color, not lite)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1 to 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening, optional but recommended
- sprinkles (or jimmies, non-pareils, slivered almonds, coarse sea salt, graham cracker crumbs, etc.), optional for sprinkling
