    Delicious & flavoursome Vegan Spiced Pecans Crunch Chocolates - brought to you by eating disorder therapist Rachel Evans formerly from @healthyandpsyched!

    This blog post and the recipe for these gorgeous Vegan Spiced Pecans Crunch Chocolates is brought to you by my good friend and fellow vegan blogger Rachel formerly from Healthyandpsyched. Rachel is an eating disorder therapist and former plant-based food blogger, which is how we first met in 2016. In 2016, both Rachel and I decided to do a recipe swap between our two blogs - so in this post, I'm sharing her sweet recipe for these wonderful looking spiced Pecans Crunch Chocolates. Hope you enjoy it!

    Rachel and I first met about 1.5 years ago at a blogger meet-up of the Just V Show - and bonded right away! Unfortunately, Rachel is not based in London, but we get to see each other regularly whenever she comes down to London, and I am super excited to be sharing her recipe here today! Let me not keep her recipe from you any longer (cause I totally know you're already craving the spiced pecans chocolates after seeing the thumbnail!), here you go:

    Rachel's Recipe for Vegan Spiced Pecans Chocolates

    "I've just discovered how to make chocolate and now I want to share the recipe with the world! I had a few mishaps before I came to this method and chocolate recipe. It was disappointing, but you live and learn. I think these spiced pecans chocolates would make a perfect present, and you could adapt them to use different nuts and nut butter. This recipe uses pecans and cashew butter, but I have used almond butter before and that turned out very delicious - it has a stronger taste than the cashew butter, which is creamier.

    Description

    Delicious Vegan Spiced Pecans Chocolates Recipe - perfect as a vegan snack or to gift to family and friends!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 40g pecan halves
    • 10g coconut oil (melted)
    • 3g mix of your favourite spices – I used cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger
    • 125g cacao butter
    • 100g smooth cashew butter
    • 25g coconut sugar + 25g Natvia sweetener*
    • 50g cacao powder

    * Natvia is the same sweetness as sugar but has 0 calories and 0 sugar. I like to use it in this recipe because it doesn’t melt the same as sugar and so it adds to the crunch of the chocolates. You could use 100% coconut sugar/Natvia, but I haven’t tried this variation.

     

     


    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 150°c.
    2. Place the nuts in a bowl and shake over the spices. Then pour over the coconut oil and stir well until all of the nuts are fully coated.
    3. Transfer the pecans to a lined baking tray and roast for 8-10 minutes. Take the nuts out of the oven to cool down and turn off the oven as you won’t need it again for this recipe.
    4. Pour about 1 inch of water in the pan and bring it to the boil. Next turn down the heat until the water is simmering. Put all of the ingredients for the chocolate into the heat proof bowl. If you are using a block of cacao butter you will need to cut it into smaller pieces so that it melts evenly. Place the bowl on top of the pan – the bottom of the bowl should NOT be touching the water.
    5. Stir the chocolate ingredients until the cacao butter and cashew butter have melted and everything is smooth.
    6. Chop up the pecans into a mix of quarters and eights. Fill each chocolate mould with pecans – make sure they don’t come over the top of the mould. Spoon the chocolate into each mould.
    7. If you have extra chocolate you can line a loaf tin with cling film and make a block of chocolate in it.
    8. Place the chocolate moulds in the fridge and leave to set for at least 2-3 hours (depending on the size of your chocolates – it’s a big block it will need longer to set).
    9. Carefully turn out the chocolates once they are set. I would recommend to store them in the fridge so that they don’t melt again. They will be okay out of the fridge for a couple of hours though.

    Notes

    To make the chocolate you will be heating the ingredients in a bowl above water. You will need to find a saucepan and a heatproof bowl (I use a glass one) that sits on top about 1.5-2 inches from the bottom of the pan.

    Also, I would recommend using a silicone chocolate mould so that it’s easy to remove the chocolates once they’re set.
