Pecan chocolate thins
Chocolate. Pecans. Licorice. Three layers of yum in one thin treat that you can make in just a few minutes. Is it candy? Yes. Is it low carb? Absolutely. A delicious contradiction!

Ingredients
- 4 oz. 110 g dark chocolate with a minimum of 80% cocoa solids
- ¼ tsp ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp 1 tsp (3 g) licorice powder
- 1⁄6 oz. 30 g chopped pecans
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a sauce pan on low heat or in a microwave oven. Stir in vanilla and licorice. Let cool for a few minutes until the chocolate begins to thicken. It should not be too liquid.
- Pour onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet or tray and sprinkle the nuts on top. Let cool to set completely. Once set, crack into about 15 pieces. Store in the fridge in a tightly sealed container.
Tip!
These thins are best when served the same day. (Licorice powder may make the chocolate look a little grainy after a while.) The pecans are tasty raw or dry roasted—try it both ways!

I've never seen licorice powder in the stores where I live.
