How to Make Chocolate Billionaires

  1. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 14 ounces (397g) of caramels with 1/4 cup (60ml) of water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup (57g) of chopped pecans and 1 cup (30g) of your favorite cereal (e.g., Rice Krispies).
  3. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto lightly greased wax paper or a silicone baking mat.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  5. In the same double boiler or a separate heat-safe bowl over simmering water, melt 12 ounces (340g) of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of shortening, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  6. Dip the chilled caramel candies into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  7. Place the coated candies back onto the wax paper or silicone mat.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
