How to Make Millionaires

  1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt caramels and milk over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth and creamy.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in pecans until evenly distributed.
  4. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the prepared waxed paper, leaving space between each candy.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until completely firm.
  6. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and shortening (or wax) until smooth. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth.
  7. Dip the chilled caramel candies into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  8. Place the chocolate-covered candies back onto the waxed paper.
  9. Refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
