Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Be sure to melt the chocolate slowly and carefully. Overheating can cause the chocolate to seize up and become grainy.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the melted chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
  • If the chocolate is too thick to pour, you can thin it out with a little bit of vegetable oil or melted butter.
  • Be creative with your toppings! You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, candy pieces, or even fresh fruit.
  • These pecan goody cups are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
