In your double broiler on medium heat, melt the caramels and chocolate melts with the heavy cream.

Pour the caramel mixture into an 8x8 glass or metal pan that has been lined with tinfoil.

Pop the caramel mixture into the fridge for one hour to firm up.

Remove the caramel from the pan and cut it into 30 equal pieces.

Using your hands, roll each piece into a ball and place it on a cookie sheet that has been lined with wax paper.

Put caramel balls into the freezer for one hour.

In a small mixing bowl, melt the chocolate chips and the vegetable shortening in the microwave slowly.  It is recommended to use 50% power with 20-second intervals, stirring in between each interval.

Dip the frozen caramel balls into the chocolate and tap the side of the bowl lightly to remove any excess chocolate.

Immediately sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
