Ingredients
- ¾ cup pecan halves
- 10 oz chocolate, finely chopped
- flaked sea salt
Instructions
- First toast your pecans. This can be done in a shallow frying pan or in the oven. If using a frying pan, place the pecans in the dry pan, over a medium heat and dry fry for about 5 minutes until aromatic and starting to lightly darken. If using the oven, spread the pecans out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place this in a 350°F (175C/155C Fan) oven for about 7 minutes, again until darkening and aromatic. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely (about 30 minutes).
- Once the pecans are cool, prepare your chocolate for dipping. Place 9 ounces of the chopped chocolate in a small heat proof bowl, fitting snuggly over a saucepan of simmering water (a DIY double boiler). Continue simmering the water, ensuring this never touches the bottom of the bowl. Stir the chocolate until this is melted and smooth.
- Remove the bowl from the saucepan and add the reserved 1 ounce of chocolate. Stir this until smooth.
- Dip your pecans into the chocolate using a fork to help allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place the dipped pecans on a piece of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Sprinkle with a bit of sea salt and allow to set for about 3 hours.
