    Chocolate Billionaires

    Reply Contact

    I recently made these for my family.  I really enjoyed them but I was wondering are they suppost to be hard? After I added the chocolate and put them in the refrigerator to set they got hard.  Once you get by the hardness they are a really good cookie but I can't help but think that I may have made an error.  I used a 14oz bag of Kraft Caramels did I maybe use the wrong kind?  I would love some help on figuring out where I may have went wrong.

    1 14 ounce package caramels
    3 tablespoons water
    1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
    1 cup coursely crushed crisp rice cereal
    1 tablespoon shortening
    2 cups semi sweet or milk chocolate chips

    In top of double boiler over low heat, melt caramels with water. Remove from heat and stir in pecans and cereal. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto lightly greased waxed paper. Chill until firm. Melt Chocolate chips and shortening in the double boiler or heavy saucepan and dip candies until coated. Place on wax paper and chill until set. Store in airtight container. Makes about 4 dozen candies.

     

    I think if you let them get to room temp. they would't be so hard.

    Sounds good!
