Whether you need a special gift for Valentine’s Day or just a quick treat for yourself, this Salted Caramel Pecan Bark is a simple snack to give or keep.
One word of caution if you want to cut the chocolate into hearts, use a metal cookie cutter and a rubber mallet because pressing with your hand can hurt and without a clean break, the chocolate will crumble.
RECIPE: Salted Caramel Pecan Bark
Ingredients
- 1 package chocolate bark

- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening
- 1 cup pecan halves lightly roasted
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
