Okay, so it's not really healthy. But it is vegan and gluten free if you use unsweeetened chocolate, and for 20 servings, each one is only 18 calories. Worry not if you only eat a couple! 

What went right: 

          They tasted great and were good to have around for my Vegan and Gluten Free hallmates. 

What went wrong: 

           When they were not in the freezer, the caramel did not stay solid, but reverted to its stickier plasma form. Perhaps some cornstarch would fix that next time. 

What I would do next time: 

            Add cornstarch or heavy cream to help the caramel solidify when room-temperature. 

Overall, a super easy, tasty treat!
