Homemade Chocolate Covered Pecans
Homemade Chocolate Covered Pecans, a quick and easy milk chocolate dipped nut recipe perfect for holiday treats and charcuterie boards.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecans halved
- 2 tablespoons butter salted
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325* F.
- Melt butter in a small microwave safe dish. Once melted, mix the pecan halves with the butter until coated.
- Place buttered pecans, evenly spread out, on a parchment lined baking sheet. Roast for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- Once the pecans are cooled, melt the milk chocolate in a microwave safe dish. Melt for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each 30 second interval until fully melted. Add coconut oil to the melt chocolate and mix. See photos above for a great visual on this.
- Add the roasted pecan halves to the melted chocolate bowl and mix until well coated. Individually take out each pecan, with a fork or clean hands, and place on a clean parchment paper. Let the chocolate harden completely.
Notes
- Make sure to melt the chocolate in small intervals so you don't over melt the chocolate! The chocolate will become chalky and hard to work with.
- Use dark chocolate or white chocolate according to your preference.
- Top with sea salted for a salted chocolate taste.
