Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of these buns, so use the best you can afford. A bittersweet or semisweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% will give you the best flavor.
- Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans brings out their nutty flavor and makes them more fragrant. You can toast them in a skillet over medium heat, or in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
- Don't overproof the dough: Overproofing the dough will make the buns too light and airy, and they will not have a good texture. Proof the dough until it is just doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Bake the buns until they are golden brown: The buns are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Conclusion:
These chocolate pecan sticky buns are the perfect treat for any occasion. They are gooey, chocolatey, and nutty, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special breakfast or dessert, give these buns a try. You won't be disappointed!
