Chocolate Billionaire Candy ( Home made Turtle candies)

These are a lot like the Turtles chocolate candy.

1 package (14oz) caramels, about 53 of the small individually wrapped caramels.
3 tbsp of water
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans (or nuts of your choice, mixed nuts would be nice too)
1 cup crisp rice cereal (like Rice Crispies or Special K)
3 cups chocolate chips
1 1/2 tsp shortening

Line two baking sheets with waxed paper, grease the paper and set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine the caramels and water. Cook over medium low heat until caramels are melted and smooth. Stir in crisp rice and pecans.
Stir until well coated. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared pans. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until firm

Meanwhile, in a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening together and stir until smooth, add more shortening by 1/2 tsp until the chocolate is smooth and runny (if required)
Dip candy into chocolate, coating all sides. Allow excess to drip off. Place on prepared pans and refrigerate until set. Store in an airtight container

Will this work with homemade caramel?

[yoyomax12]

@Riiot09 don't see why not, depending on how thin it is

[yoyomax12]

@teamsoulsiver If you listened to the video you would hear me tell you who the man is and what he is doing

[olsen1054]

I had no idea the general population was missing large parts of grey matter. Makes me not only feel for you, but will never make a demonstration video to help the public after reading these comments. Your video was good and very detailed. It's only idiots that can't figure this out. The questions are ridiculous!

I made these a while ago and they were delicious! I just thought that once the caramel had cooled, it got really hard, and kinda hard to bite into, so I had to make them really tiny :) maybe it's just the type of caramels i used

[mightybfool]

:( I cant eat nuts

[yoyomax12]

@tracy1012ful Cashews are my most favourite, but pecans are very good in baked goods too

[yoyomax12]

@LatteSmocha lol! Knew people would ask what the strange man was doing in the background :)

[tracy1012ful]

@yoyomax12 are pecans your favorite 

[LatteSmocha]

lol "theres hubby in the background digging some composts"

Looks fantastic! I'll be using your method in the near future. I have made chocolate turtles in the past, however; your video gave me a couple of great tips. Also, your video was very simple and well explained. Thank you for taking the time to show your method. I'm sure all of my friends and I will enjoy these special treats.

Thanks so much for this simple recipe. I'm a pastry chef by profession and I'm use to candy recipes being somewhat labor-intensive, but these were a cinch! I used homemade salted caramel and omitted the cereal because I didn't have any. I tempered the chocolate also, so they didn't have to be refrigerated for the chocolate to set up. They turned out great and my family loved them.

[funfun223lol]

num num num these look soooo yummy :)

[yoyomax12]

@hlubmeme I used pecans.

[hlubmeme]

I was wondering what kind of nuts did u use for?

[LaTripper]

&ame6603

I highly doubt that. hubby is an endearing term for husband. not a name.

[ame6603]

@jiodavid329 You can't make pecan clusters without pecans. Otherwise they're just clusters... of what I'm not sure. lol

[ame6603]

@MindyFee16 No, definitely not. ;)

[ame6603]
