Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt unsweetened chocolate and butter in the microwave: stir until smooth. In a large bowl, beat cookie mix, egg, milk, vanilla and chocolate mixture. Use tablespoonfuls to measure the cookie and arrange the cookies two inches a part on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for eight to 10 minutes or until the edges are crisp. Press the caramel-filled candies into the center of each cookie. Let stand for two minutes and then sprinkle with salt. Remove from pans to wire racks and cool completely.
