Chocolate Pecans

Me and my fiance have 100 pounds of pecans and were soaked in chocolate some. Do you cook first? How do you soak them and make sure everything is covered pecans without burning? Do you use only chocolate and wax?

Thats a lot of nuts Im giving you several recipes

Spiced pecans vanilla


1 pound pecan halves full
6 cups water
1 / 2 cup granulated sugar (no candy or beads)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 / 4 c. teaspoon salt
1 / 4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 / 4 c. teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 / 4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 / 4 c. teaspoon allspice ground
1 / 8 c. teaspoon ground black pepper

In a large saucepan, boil the pecans in water for 1 minute. Drain. While they are still hot, throw in a large bowl with the sugar, melted butter, corn syrup and vanilla. Mix well and let stand nuts, covered, for at least 12 hours to 24.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Put the walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes on. The nuts must be golden brown - if I realize they are beginning to Brown, if what you are looking for is a darker brown - and crisp looking. Of course, they will not really until they are crisp cool.

Meanwhile, combine all spices in a large bowl. The moment the nuts are done, add spices and stir until well coated.

Pat nuts down on the baking sheet in one layer, so they can cool without aggregation. Cool them carefully and securely store.

Makes 1 pound.
