Want something creative for Halloween? Check out this cool recipe from Fit Sugar.


INGREDIENTS

Parchment paper
30 pecans halves
4-5 squares of dark chocolate (I used Ghirardelli 72% Twilight Delight)
Chocolate Sprinkles
Round Halloween colored sprinkles (white, orange, purple)


METHOD

1. Pour about 1/2 cup or so of chocolate sprinkles and 1/4 cup of colored sprinkles into two separate, shallow bowls.

2. Chop dark chocolate into small, even pieces. Melt chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler until smooth.

3. Submerge pecan halves in melted chocolate and move around until the pecan is covered.

4. Remove the pecan from the chocolate allowing access chocolate to drip off. Dip each pecan, flat side down into the chocolate sprinkles to make little cockroach legs.

5. Place pecan on parchment paper sprinkle side down.

6. Continue the same technique for all the pecans, then drop two small round colored sprinkles to the smaller end of all the pecans to make eyes.

7. Let the pecans sit for a few hours so the chocolate can set, remove from parchment paper and store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
