Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces buttery round crackers
- 24 pieces soft caramels
- 24 pieces pecan halves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Place the buttery round crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Unwrap the soft caramels and place one caramel on top of each cracker.
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4-5 minutes or until the caramels are softened but not fully melted.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and immediately press a pecan half onto the top of each softened caramel to flatten it slightly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
Using a spoon or small piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over each pecan-topped cracker. Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top for added flavor.
Let the Pecan Doodads cool completely at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the Pecan Doodads to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
