Dark chocolate, a pecan, flaky sea salt. That is all it takes to make mendiants, those little nut-topped chocolate bites you always want to buy at the chocolate shop. The chocolate snaps clean, the pecan crunches, and the salt shows up at the end to wake everything up. It is the kind of bite you set on the table and it is gone before you have had time to sit down!<\/p>\n
I saw the idea go by online and thought it was a good one. You break the bar into squares, set them on a sheet and slide them into a low oven. They soften, the tops turn glossy, and all that is left is to press a pecan in. The shape is already made, it is the shape of the bar. Honestly, it is easy this way.<\/p>\n
I serve them cold, straight out of the fridge, because I love cold chocolate. They fit anywhere: as a starter, for dessert, or as an after-dinner bite next to the coffee. And they make a gift, no question. This version is pecan and sea salt. I will most likely make others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
