I modified the recipe at https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/chocolate-billionaires/ to come up with this recipe. It was definitely my favorite candy recipe that I’ve made so far.
1 cup (7 ounces) caramel bits
2 tablespoons water
1/2 cup M & M’s
2 cups rice crispies cereal
4 chocolate bark baking squares or 3 cups chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil, butter or shortening
Cover 2 large cookie sheets with wax paper.
In a saucepan, add the caramels and water. Stir until the caramel is melted. Reduce heat and add the rice crispies and M & M’s. Mix well. Drop by teaspoons onto the baking sheets. When they are cooled, melt the chocolate squares and coconut oil/shortening in the microwave. Dip each candy piece into the chocolate, covering all sides. Put back on the baking sheet and refrigerate until set.
This recipe made about 30 candies, so double it if you need more, which you will because they are so good.
