Chocolate Billionaires {12 Days of Sugar – Day 9}

December 10, 2019 by Jodi + Leave a Comment

Chocolate Billionaires are full of caramel, Rice Krispies, and chopped pecans then dipped in milk chocolate. After one bite you’ll agree that their name fits them perfectly.

♡ 12 DAYS OF SUGAR. . .DAY 9 ♡

Chocolate, caramel, rice Krispies and chopped pecans make up these crazy delicious Chocolate Billionaires.
 
I saw this recipe years ago, bookmarked it, and then it got lost amongst the hundreds of other recipes I’ve bookmarked. Luckily, I somehow came across it again a few months ago and knew immediately I wanted these to be a part of this year’s 12 Days of Sugar.

 
I love anything with caramel and then when you add chocolate and Rice Krispies . . YUM! Talk about scrumptious! The chewy, crunchy, caramely inside is covered with delicious milk chocolate that all comes together in one heavenly bite! These chocolate billionaires are just stupidly good. Who knew that something with just 4 ingredients could be so delicious?
 
These are simple to make and are perfect for gift giving.

Tips for making Chocolate Billionaires:

  • I like to use a small cookie scoop to portion these out. Once I’ve scooped them all out, I flatten them slightly before putting them in the fridge.
  • You don’t want to use much more than a heaping teaspoon for these. Once you dip them in chocolate, they will end up much bigger than you think they’re going to be.
  • When I dip these, I drop them in the melted chocolate, top side down, then use a fork to flip it over and coat the bottom. Then I lift it out with a small fork, tapping it on the edge of the bowl to get rid of the excess chocolate. I like to use a skewer or a toothpick to slide it off the fork onto the silpat lined cookie sheet.
  • Because I wanted more Rice Krispies in these than nuts, I adjusted the amounts of each from the original recipe. The original recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans and 1 cup of Rice Krispies. Feel free to adjust the amounts according to your liking, just make sure you keep it at 2 1/2 cups total of those two ingredients combined.
  • Use  good quality chocolate chips for these, it will make a huge difference in how these taste. I use Guittard milk chocolate chips. If you prefer to use melting wafers, again use a good brand, like Ghiradelli.

Here is what the yummy insides look like. . . melted caramel, chopped pecans and Rice Krispies. Simple, but so, so good.

CAN I USE SEMISWEET CHOCOLATE FOR THESE?

The original recipe called for milk chocolate chips, but you could certainly use semisweet or dark chocolate chips for these if that’s what you prefer. I use milk chocolate chips, but I also think these would be delicious with dark chocolate as well. You could also use half milk and half semisweet chocolate chips.

 

CAN I USE MELTING WAFERS INSTEAD OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS?

Yes, if you have melting discs/wafers or prefer using those to chocolate chips, then that works too. Like I mentioned above, just make sure and use a good quality.
