Add a small spoonful of melted chocolate to all of the mold cavities. Then coat the melted chocolate around the mold, making sure to get all the way up the sides. 

Place the chocolate coated mold into the freezer for 5 minutes. Then repeat the last two steps. (Transfer the unused melted chocolate to a pastry or ziplock bag.)

Remove the chilled plate and chocolate coated mold from the freezer. Carefully remove each chocolate coated sphere from the mold and place onto the chilled plate.

Heat the small plate in the microwave for 2 minutes.

Put one half sphere upside down on the heated plate to slightly melt the candy coated edge.

Fill it with 1 tablespoon cocoa mix, ½ teaspoon of crushed pecans, and 3-4 caramel bits

Repeat step 9 with another half sphere and adhere the two together. The melted chocolate should fuse them together nicely, but if not, just use your finger to add a little chocolate around the seam.
