Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil

One 7.5-ounce box caramel and toasted coconut cookies, such as Samoas®

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

25 individually-wrapped caramels, unwrapped

1/2 cup dry-roasted macadamia nuts with sea salt, halved, plus more for topping

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 teaspoon coconut oil

Toasted coconut, for topping

Directions

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Reserve 2 of the cookies; coarsely chop the remaining cookies.
Put the butter and caramels in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Fold in the chopped cookies and macadamia nut pieces. Drop tablespoon dollops of the caramel mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
Meanwhile, finely chop the reserved cookies and macadamia nuts.
Microwave the semisweet chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute.
Top the caramel clusters with the melted chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with crushed cookies, chopped macadamia nuts or toasted coconut. Chill until set, another 30 minutes.
