Chocolate Billionaires
Chocolate billionaires are an easy homemade candy made with chewy caramel, crunchy pecans, crispy rice cereal all covered in chocolate. A delicious treat that can be made with a few ingredients.
Servings: 21
Ingredients
- 11 ounce caramels bits
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 ½ cups chopped pecans
- 1 cup Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 ounce chocolate wafer melts
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper. I recommend lightly spraying the wax paper with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the caramel bits and heavy cream in a large saucepan. Stir over low heat and melt the caramel bits until the caramel is smooth.
- Stir in the chopped pecans and the crispy rice cereal in the melted caramel and remove from heat.
- Drop a heaping tablespoon of the caramel mixture on the prepared baking sheets. I like using a small cookie scoop for this. Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Microwave the chocolate melts in 30 second intervals until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Using a fork, dip the caramels into the melted chocolate and then back on the wax paper.
- Let the chocolate completely set.
Notes
- Use wax paper and non-stick spray so the candy doesn't stick. This will help you easily be able to remove the candies from the paper.
- Melt the caramels slowly so that it doesn't burn. I recommend heating over medium low heat so that the caramel doesn't burn.
- Use a fork to dip the candies into the melted chocolate. Place the set caramels on a fork and dip in the melted chocolate.
- Let the candy set completely. Be sure to allow the chocolate set up before eating.
