Notes
Instead of using packaged caramels, you can make my easy homemade version.
I used my mini-casserole slow cooker for this recipe and it was the perfect size. You can also use a regular slow cooker and press the bread into the bottom, just note that cooking time may decrease slightly due to the additional air flow in the slow cooker.
