White Chocolate Pecan Candy

If you are a fan of white chocolate this is a must-make recipe.

Can be prepared in less than 15 minutes and then it only needs 1 to 2 hours to set in the refrigerator. Makes a great sweet treat for Christmas, Mardi Gras or gameday.

Ingredients Needed

• Pecans– you want plain, raw pecans, not roasted.
• Vanilla Melting Wafers
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk– NOT evaporated milk.
• Vanilla Extract– use pure, not imitation for best flavor.
• Salt

What Are Vanilla Melting Wafers?

Technically they are not chocolate, but they taste like white chocolate and they are made to melt really well. I use Ghiradelli White Vanilla Flavored Melting Wafers.

How To Make White Chocolate Pecan Candy

1. Toast the pecans. Bake them for about 8 minutes at 350 degrees F. Stir them about halfway through. Watch them carefully. They burn quickly.
2. Microwave the melting wafers and sweetened condensed milk until the melting wafers are melted.
3. Stir in pecans, vanilla extract and salt.
4. Quickly spread it out on parchment paper. You can spread it as thick or as thin as you want.
5. Refrigerate until set. Cut into squares.

Variation

For extra flavor, try adding 1/4 cup of chopped dried cranberries.

How To Store

Store at room temperature for 5 days, in the refrigerator for 10 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
