  3. Gently shake off any excess chocolate.
  4. Place the chocolate-covered marshmallows in a single layer on wax paper-lined baking sheets.
  5. Sprinkle each marshmallow with 1 teaspoon of chopped pecans (or your preferred nut-free cereal like Rice Krispies).
  6. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set.
  7. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
