Variations and Substitutions:
Swap the regular flour for gluten-free flour if gluten is an issue. You can also use white or milk chocolate in place of the dark chocolate, or add some dried fruit or finely chopped nuts to the cookies. Butterscotch candies can be used in place of the caramels if you prefer those.
