Dark Chocolate Pecan Halves

Or, as I like to call them, "A Convenient Way to Get Rid of Leftovers."

So, I had a bunch of pecans left over from those Butter Pecan Bars and a somewhat empty bag of dark chocolate chips from the Mint Crinkles.  So I decided to combine two good things and get a really great one.  (By "good" and "great" I mean, of course, "fatty" and "really fatty".  But don't let that stop you!  It never stops me! XD)

Anyhoo, here's a "recipe" - it's more like simple instructions, really:

Dark Chocolate Pecan Halves

dark chocolate chips

1. Melt dark chocolate chips in saucepan over low heat.  Stir frequently.
2. Once the chips are melted, drop a few pecan halves in at a time.  Stir them around until coated, then lift out with a fork onto a baking pan covered with wax paper.  Repeat until either pecans or chips are gone.  (Finish off the rest yourself :D)
3. Cool in refrigerator for about 30 minutes, then remove from wax paper.

The nuts in the refrigerator:

Don't get too stressed out about the fat content... I mean, nuts are healthy, right?  If you still feel bad, go jog it off.  Spring is sprung!
