How to Make Holiday Heaven Bites
Step 1: Prepare Your Caramel Base
- Unwrap your caramel candies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If the caramels are too firm, microwave them for 5-10 seconds to soften slightly.
Step 2: Add the Pecan Halves
- Gently press a pecan half onto each caramel candy.
- Set aside while you melt your chocolate.
Step 3: Coat with Chocolate
- Melt your chocolate using a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval.
- Dip the caramel-pecan bites halfway into the melted chocolate, or drizzle the chocolate over the top for a decorative effect.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Place the bites in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes to set.
- Serve on a festive platter and watch them disappear!
Tips for Customizing Your Bites
- Add a Sprinkle: Top with sea salt, crushed peppermint, or holiday sprinkles for an extra festive touch.
- Swap Nuts: Try almonds, walnuts, or cashews for a twist on the classic flavor.
- Different Chocolates: Use white chocolate and add a drop of food coloring to match your holiday theme.
