This billionaire\u2019s chocolate candy combines smooth melted caramels, crunchy pecans and crispy Rice Krispies all coated in a layer of rich milk chocolate. With a satisfying mix of textures and a melt-in-your-mouth finish, these candies are the perfect homemade gift\u2014or a little something special for yourself!<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Chocolate Billionaires<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Caramels:<\/strong> The soft, chewy base of the candy melts down to a rich and gooey consistency that ties everything together. You can use any store-bought brand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> A small amount of water helps melt the caramels smoothly and prevents them from sticking to the pan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chopped pecans:<\/strong> Pecans add a nutty crunch that complements the sweetness of the caramel and chocolate. You can substitute with walnuts or almonds if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rice Krispies:<\/strong> These provide a crispy texture that balances out the soft caramel. Any puffed rice cereal will work in a pinch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Milk chocolate chips:<\/strong> Melted milk chocolate adds a creamy and sweet coating to the candies. If you want a less-sweet option, try semi-sweet or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-dark-chocolate\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-dark-chocolate\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">dark chocolate<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shortening:<\/strong> A little shortening helps the chocolate melt smoothly and coats the candies evenly. Coconut oil works as a substitute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare your pans<\/h3>\n<p>Line two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-difference-between-baking-sheets-cookie-sheets-and-jellyroll-pans\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/the-difference-between-baking-sheets-cookie-sheets-and-jellyroll-pans\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">baking sheets<\/a> with waxed paper and grease them lightly.
