Decadent is the only word to describe this one! I also love to give this one away at Christmas time as gifts in a lovely box.

• 1 cup of pecan pieces
• 1 Tablespoon of maple syrup

1. Melt butter over medium high heat in a frying pan. Add pecans and maple syrup stirring constantly until syrup starts to boil and pecans start to become coated. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
2. Melt chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add vanilla, sea salt and candied pecans and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour chocolate mixture onto a parchment lined baking pan and spread out in a thin layer with a spatula.
4. Transfer pan to fridge and allow to set for 1 hour.
5. Once set, slice into chunks with a knife that has been dipped in warm water.

Smart Facts

I often will melt 1 square of white chocolate and add to the top of dark chocolate while it is still warm for the added “swirling” effect.
