Tips:
- Choose pecan halves that are large and uniform in size. This will help them to dip evenly and look more professional.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If it becomes too dark, it will taste burnt.
- Dip the pecan wedges into the chocolate immediately after they have been coated in the sugar syrup. This will help the chocolate to adhere better.
- Place the dipped pecan wedges on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely before serving.
- Store the chocolate-dipped pecan wedges in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
