How to Make Chocolatey Stuffed Pecans

Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a small saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
Remove from heat.
Stir in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until completely smooth and well combined.
Gradually stir in 2-3 cups of powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until the mixture reaches a stiff, pipeable consistency.
If the mixture is too thin, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to thicken.
Place 1 rounded teaspoonful of the chocolate mixture onto the flat side of one pecan half.
Top with another pecan half to create a stuffed pecan.
Repeat with the remaining pecans and chocolate mixture.
Place the stuffed pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
