Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish (and optionally line with sheets of parchment paper if you'd prefer to lift bars out to cut, then butter parchment).
2
Pour cream over caramels in a microwave safe bowl, heat mixture on HIGH power in ⏱️ 30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval until melted and smooth (alternately you can combine the two ingredients in a saucepan and melt over low heat), set aside.
