    Chocolate Covered Pecans Recipe

    Published: Sep 27, 2024 · by Radwa.

    I have been searching for a simple snack recipe for so long. Since I love chocolate and nuts, I made Chocolate Covered Pecans.

    I made this simple and easy treat with just 2 ingredients, and it comes together in just a few minutes.

    I like how easy this treat is. It does not need baking, and I can keep it in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.

    It is crunchy, mildly sweet, so nutty; a perfect bite-size treat indeed!

    Chocolate-dipped nuts are always my go-to snacks for Christmas or any special occasion because they are so elegant and delicious.

    You'll Need

    Let’s talk about the only 2 ingredients you will need to gather to make this easy snack:

    "Detailed measurements can be found on the recipe card at the bottom of the page."

    Chocolate

    I like to use Semi-sweet Chocolate and sometimes dark chocolate; however, you can also use unsweetened chocolate or milk chocolate; it is a personal preference.

    Also, pecans go well with white chocolate; you can coat the pecans with white chocolate and then drizzle dark chocolate on top of them.

    Anyways, I highly recommend choosing high-quality chocolate for this recipe.

    Pecans

    Do I have to roast the pecans? In my honest opinion, yes, you must roast the pecans because roasting them actually improves their rich, nutty flavor and also makes them extra crunchy.

    I bet you are asking yourself, what is the best way to roast the pecans? There are so many ways to roast the pecans, such as: In the oven, stovetop or in the air fryer!

    Personally, I prefer to roast them on the stove top. My grandma's trick for roasting the pecans is to melt a minimal amount of butter in a skillet before you toast the pecans; the butter will add a delicate flavor to your pecans without lessening their crunchiness 😉

    The Process

    steps of making the recipe.

    Step one: Heat a small pan on low heat and add pecan. Toast for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

    Step two: In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate chips for 10-20 seconds, until melted.

    Tip: If you don't have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate on the stovetop in a double boiler.

    Step three: As soon as the chocolate is melted, dip pecans in the chocolate one at a time, coating half of the pecan and placing them in a single layer on parchment paper.

    Step four: Allow chocolate to harden, then serve.

    Tip: For the chocolates to thoroughly harden around the pecans, chill your treat for 20-30 minutes.
