Description
A delicious chocolate pecan bark recipe, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup pecan halves
- 1–3/4 cups milk chocolate chips (divided)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 15 soft caramels (1/2 cup)
- 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line a 9×13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper (or silicone liner or foil) and set aside.
- Toast pecans, let cool, and coarsely chop in small pieces.
- Melt 1 and 3/4 cups milk chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl for 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst for 15–20 seconds, until chocolate is smooth and melted.
- Stir the coarsely chopped pecans into the melted chocolate. Use a spatula to transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer about 1/4th inch thick.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring between each burst, for 20 seconds or until caramels are melted and smooth.
- Once melted, stir in vanilla, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag, and cut off one corner. Drizzle evenly and generously over the chocolate and pecan mixture.
- Melt remaining 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips in the microwave. Pour melted chocolate into a small resealable plastic bag and cut off the tip. Pipe melted chocolate over the caramel layer in stripes.
- If desired, top with sea salt flakes.
- Allow bark to harden in the fridge, then cut into pieces with a very sharp knife.
