Ingredients

• 2 cups pecan halves

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. 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.
3. Stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt into the melted chocolate.
4. Add the pecan halves to the bowl of melted chocolate and toss until they are completely coated.
5. 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.
6. Spread the pecans out in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure they don't touch each other.
7. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
8. Once the chocolate has hardened, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and allow the pecans to come to room temperature before serving.
9. Store the chocolate covered pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
