Fold them into the mix, grab yourself two 9" cake pans that have been greased up and lined with parchment, and pour equal amounts into each pan.

Place them in an oven set to 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Grab the other half of the bag of caramels and throw them in your double boiler along with the cream. Melt it on low heat.

Once it's melted completely, remove it from the heat and give it a few minutes to cool back down.

While your caramel is cooling, drop a stick of butter and the powdered sugar into your mixer. Bring your cooled melted caramel over and drop it into the bowl as well. Mix it all together.

Frost cake with frosting and enjoy.
