Chocolate Pecan Slice

Chocolate Pecan Slice

Cuts into 18 pieces

There’s a lot to love about this recipe, not least because it only has three ingredients. I’m also a big fan of the chocolate/condensed milk combo, and because it’s using dark chocolate, it’s not too sweet although I have to say, I wonder if there is such a thing as “too sweet.”

If pecans aren’t your jam, you can swap them out and pop in your favourite nuts instead, but do remember to toast them first for that fuller flavour.

This would make a great gift, especially at Christmas because it’s so easy to make and will keep in the fridge for up to four weeks, although it’s so delicious and temptation is real, so I doubt it will last that long!

So tell me, do you think there is such a thing as “too sweet”?
