Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 350 g Caramels
- 2 tbsp Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Pecans, chopped
- 1 cup Crisped rice cereal
- 400 g Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp Shortening
Instructions
Unwrap the caramels and place them in a medium-sized saucepan. Add the heavy cream and heat over low heat, stirring frequently, until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Fold in the chopped pecans and crisped rice cereal, mixing until everything is evenly coated in the caramel mixture.
Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop bite-sized portions of the caramel mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Shape into small mounds if needed. Let them cool and firm up at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Melt the semisweet chocolate chips and shortening together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted.
Using two forks, dip each caramel-pecan mound into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are completely coated. Let any excess drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm.
Store the Chocolate Billionaires in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for extended freshness.
