Chocolate-Dipped Candied Pecans

Yield: 2 cups

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 45 minutes
• Cooling Time: 35 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour, 35 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Bake Believe® Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
• ½ cup plus ¼ cup allulose, divided
• 2 tablespoons water
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 ½ cups raw pecan halves
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions:

1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large skillet, stir together the ½ cup allulose, water, vanilla, and cinnamon.
3. Place over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Add the pecans and stir frequently for 5 minutes. The allulose may begin to crystalize, that is okay.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes, stirring the pecans to break them up.
6. Once the pecans have come to room temperature, add the remaining ¼ cup allulose to the pan and stir to combine.
7. Spread the pecans out on the parchment-lined cookie sheet and allow to cool to room temperature, breaking the pecans up as they cool.
8. Place the dark chips in a heat-proof bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
9. Dip the candied pecans, one at a time, halfway into the melted chocolate.
10. Shake off the excess chocolate, then place back on the lined cookie sheet.
11. Sprinkle immediately with a small amount of kosher salt.
12. Place the pecans in the refrigerator to firm up the chocolate, about 5 minutes.
13. Enjoy right away or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
