Lightly brush six 1/2 cup (125ml) dariole moulds or ramekins with oil. Combine the Caramilk chocolate, cream and sugar in a medium saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins or until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Set aside for 5 mins to cool.
Place the boiling water in a heatproof glass or jug. Sprinkle over the gelatine. Stir until the gelatine completely dissolves. Add the gelatine mixture to the cream mixture and stir to combine. Strain through a fine sieve into a large jug and discard the solids. Place the dariole moulds or ramekins on a baking tray. Pour the mixture evenly among the prepared moulds. Place in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight to set.
Meanwhile, line a large baking tray with baking paper. Place macadamias in a saucepan over medium heat and cook for 3 mins or until lightly toasted. Arrange over the lined pan. Place the extra sugar and 2 tbs water in the saucepan. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and cook, without stirring, occasionally brushing sides of pan with a wet pastry brush, for 3-5 mins or until golden. Carefully pour over the macadamias. Set aside for 15 mins or until set. Break into small pieces.
Place the dark chocolate in a small heatproof bowl. Place the extra cream in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring just to the boil. Pour cream over the chocolate. Cover and set aside for 3 mins. Use a balloon whisk to stir until smooth.
Invert the panna cottas onto serving plates. Spoon over the chocolate sauce and sprinkle with macadamia praline to serve.
