Ingredients
- 24 pieces buttery round crackers
- 24 pieces soft caramels
- 24 pieces pecan halves
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Place the buttery round crackers in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Unwrap the soft caramels and place one caramel on top of each cracker.
Step 4
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 4-5 minutes or until the caramels are softened but not fully melted.
Step 5
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and immediately press a pecan half onto the top of each softened caramel to flatten it slightly.
Step 6
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
Step 7
Using a spoon or small piping bag, drizzle the melted chocolate over each pecan-topped cracker. Optionally, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top for added flavor.
Step 8
Let the Pecan Doodads cool completely at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
Step 9
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the Pecan Doodads to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 1 week.
