Description

Delicious chocolate-covered pecans that make a perfect snack or dessert.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 11/2 cups pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • Sea salt for sprinkle

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 285°F (140ºC). Place the pecans on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast them for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow them to cool.
  2. Place a sheet of parchment paper over a baking sheet.
  3. Combine the chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir. Repeat until all of the chocolate has melted.
  4. Using tongs, pick up each pecan and dip it into the melted chocolate.
  5. Place the dipped pecans on the parchment paper. Continue to do this until all of the nuts are coated and placed on the baking sheet. Sprinkle them with sea salt.
  6. Set the baking sheet in the coolest part of your kitchen and allow the chocolate to set for about an hour.

Notes

  • Ensure the pecans are cooled completely before dipping to achieve better chocolate adherence.
  • You can adjust the amount of sea salt to your taste preference.
