How to Make Easy Chocolate Pecan Candy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread 1 cup pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Toast pecans for 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Let cool completely.
  4. Line a 17x12 inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the bark out later.
  5. Break 12 ounces of Ghirardelli chocolate bars (recommended) into eight equal pieces.
  6. Arrange the chocolate pieces in a checkerboard pattern on the prepared pan, ensuring the pieces touch each other.
  7. Bake at 225°F (107°C) for 5 minutes, or until the chocolate is melted and glossy. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack.
  9. Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, gently swirl the melted chocolate to create a marbled effect.
  10. Evenly sprinkle the toasted pecans and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt over the melted chocolate.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
  12. Lift the bark from the pan using the parchment paper overhang and break into pieces.
  13. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.
