Chocolate Caramels

Ingredients:
oil, olive, salad or cooking
cream, fluid, heavy whipping
pascha, organic bitter-sweet dark chocolate chips,
sugars, granulated
honey
butter, without salt

Directions:
Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with aluminum foil that extends over the sides.
With a paper towel, coat the bottom and sides of the foil with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil.
Set aside.
In a 3-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to a boil.
Add the chocolate and stir with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until it is melted and thoroughly blended (about 3 minutes).
Add the sugar and honey.
Return the mixture to a boil, and wash down the sides of the pan two times with a pastry brush dipped in warm water to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
Place a candy thermometer in the pan and cook the mixture until it registers 257F on the thermometer (8 to 10 minutes), stirring constantly.
Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the butter, then pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Let the caramel cool completely at room temperature (2 to 3 hours).
With the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil, coat a cutting board and the blade of a large chefs knife.
Remove the candy from the pan by lifting out the foil; invert the caramel onto the cutting board and peel the foil off the caramel.
Cut the caramel evenly into 1-inch squares.
In a tightly covered container, between sheets of waxed paper, or wrapped in waxed paper squares, the caramels will keep for 2 weeks at room temperature.
They are best eaten at room temperature.
