Chocolate Caramel Treasure Truffles

Submitted by Heidi Vogt
Original Recipe for “Double Kisses Truffles” from hersheyeskitchens.com

Ingredients:
28 Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates (may substitute ¾ cup Hershey’s Brand Mini Chocolate Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates)
2 Tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons whipping cream
10 Hershey’s Kisses Brand Milk Chocolates filled with caramel
1 cup ground pecans

Steps:
Remove wrappers from milk chocolates. Place milk chocolates and whipping cream in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at medium (50%) power 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at medium 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chocolates are melted and mixture is smooth when stirred. Cover; refrigerate 4 to 6 hours until firm.

Remove wrappers from caramel filled milk chocolates. Using about 1 tablespoon of milk chocolate mixture for each truffle, shape chocolate around each caramel chocolate piece; roll in hand to make ball. (Be sure to cover each chocolate piece completely.) Roll in pecans.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. For best chocolate flavor, allow truffles to soften at room temperature about 5 minutes before eating. Makes 10 truffles.
