I've made these pecan bites several times and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're so easy to make and they always come out perfect.

These pecan bites were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

These pecan bites were easy to make and turned out great! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they were still delicious.

I made these pecan bites for my family and they were a huge success! The flavor combination of the pecans, chocolate, and caramel was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
