Pecan Joys!

This simple recipe uses just a few ingredients & some quick steps to create a delicious mouthful of candy that will remind you of a famous candy bar…any guesses which candy bar??

You would think the star of this recipe is the coconut, or maybe the pecans. Well, maybe they are the official stars – but the addition of kosher salt takes this treat to an entirely new level. Just delightful – the chocolate, coconut & pecans are so much more — all because of a little dash of salt!

This recipe makes 15 – 1″ cubes of Pecan Joys – the ingredient list can easily be doubled or even tripled depending on how many candies you ‘need’ to make. Also, I used a silicon ice cube tray as a candy mold. You could just as easily use mini-muffin liners and mini-muffin tins ((I may do that next time!)).

Two more tips:

• try to find finely grated unsweetened coconut flakes. I found organic flakes ((for cheap)) at Natural Grocer’s
• dark chocolate would work perfectly for this recipe too ((for that matter any type of nuts would be tasty too!!))

I am sure the real reason for the name “JOYS” can only be understood while chewing one (or 10) of these candies, haha!!
