Description

I received this recipe from a friend while living in Texas. When we moved, I was sure to take the recipe with me. Everyone raves about these chocolate and caramel candies. —June Humphrey, Strongsville, Ohio

Positively delicious. I used a Silpat instead of waxed paper and used chocolate disks instead of chocolate chips and shortening. It is a keeper.

Very good. Agree with others who said to make small, they are rich. Made to send to family and all loved them. Thanks!

I made these several years ago and misplaced the recipe. Boy, am I glad to see it again. They were the hit of my cookie/candy trays and I look forward to surprising many friends with their return.

This is the Best Chocolate candy for 2014 * Everyone loved these rich, crunchy treats. Super Easy to make. This recipe will adorn my Candy tray each year ! Delish. I elected to drizzle the chocolate across the small candy treats instead of dunking. It gave them a real nice Look. And everyone got a peek at the Inside, cause it was just as good as the Outside.Yes think small.Janie

Absolutely delicious. These are everything you want in a candy. I did take the advice of one of the reviewers and made them a bit on the small side. It turned out to be the perfect bite when I did this. I will definitely be making these again-and again.

Easy to make and delicious! I dipped mine in chocolate almond bark and they were well received.

Can these be frozen? If so, for how long? I'm starting my Christmas baking & candy making now.

I wanted a chocolate treat for a retirement party at work....these were easy, Love the pecan/chocolate combo! A big hit w the office ! I did make them small and after dipping them in the choc. mix I drizzled white chocolate across some of the candies, and added choc. sprinkle to some to "fancy" them up a little.

Tasty and easy. Sometimes I leave out the pecans for my nut-haters or switch up the kind of chocolate or even use milk chocolate almond bark, always delish. My one tip is to make them really small, smaller than you think, straight from the pot. They get a lot bigger after you add the chocolate, and the big ones really give your jaw a workout.

Very good and very easy to do
