Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt into the melted chocolate.
- Add the pecan halves to the bowl of melted chocolate and toss until they are completely coated.
- Using a fork or a slotted spoon, remove the pecans from the bowl, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off, and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the pecans out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and allow the pecans to come to room temperature before serving.
- Store the chocolate covered pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
