Easy, Homemade Chocolate Covered Pecans

First off, let’s get a little organized here. You don’t want to be scrambling for ingredients while your chocolate melts into a gooey mess, do you? Spoiler alert: it doesn’t taste good on a floor!

Ingredients

2 cups pecans
1 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate if you’re feeling a little wild)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (for added smoothness, yum!)
Sea salt (to sprinkle on top, because life is too short to skip the salt)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Give your pecans a little toasty love by spreading them out on a baking sheet and roasting them for about 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them - you don’t want burnt nuts!
While your pecans are roasting, grab a microwave-safe bowl and toss in those dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until everything melts together wonderfully. It should be smooth like jazz!
Once your pecans have cooled, take them out of the oven and put on your very best chocolate-dipping gloves (or just use a fork, no judgment). Dip each pecan into the melted chocolate. Make sure they’re fully coated - we’re going for a chocolate party here!
Place the chocolate-covered pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Now, here comes the magic sprinkle! Lightly sprinkle them with sea salt while the chocolate is still melty. This is the moment where boring snacks turn into rock stars!
Put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. During this time, you can practice your “look what I made” pose for when friends come over.

And there you have it! Once the chocolate has set and you’ve regained your composure after that delicious chocolate aroma, it’s time to indulge. Enjoy these easy homemade chocolate-covered pecans, share with friends (or not, no one will know), and bask in the glory of your culinary success!
