Caramel Apple Truffle Delight Bites

Ingredients

- 20 Werther's Original Caramel Apple Soft Chews
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

1. Prepare the Caramel Mixture:
- Unwrap 20 Werther's Original Caramel Apple Soft Chews. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl.

2. Melt the Caramels:
- Add 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the bowl with the caramels. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring each time, until the caramels are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- The total melting time should take approximately 1 minute. Be careful to avoid overheating.

3. Add Flavorings:
- Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the melted caramel mixture. Mix well to ensure the flavor is evenly distributed.

4. Form the Caramel Bites:
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 cup of crushed graham crackers. Mix well until uniform.
- Add the melted caramel mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, sticky dough forms.

5. Shape the Bites:
- Lightly dust your hands with additional powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Scoop a tablespoon of the caramel dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough until all mixture is used.

6. Coat with Pecans:
- Roll each caramel ball in the finely chopped pecans until it's fully coated. The pecans should adhere easily because of the dough's stickiness.

7. Chill and Serve:
- Place the coated caramel truffle bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bites to firm up.
