With Valentine's Day coming, I want to share my very favorite home made candy with you. It's so easy, you will love these. These are delicious, and a more adult version of a Valentine's treat, they are perfect to package as a gift using a beautiful antique plate, fill one of our tea cups and saucers with, or put in one of the many beautiful paper boxes available these days. They don't take much time to make, and are very easy, the only thing they require is will power to not eat them all yourself before wrapping beautifully to give away! I have put these in little cellophane bags tied with a beautiful bow, and placed inside a teacup for an elegant tea party favor in years past, and they are always a big hit.
3. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler {or bowl over a pot of simmering water} you can use dark or milk chocolate, then stir in corn syrup to make it shiny. Do not over heat the chocolate.
Drop the chocolate onto the top of each little cluster of Pecans, it doesn't have to be perfectly neat, rustic is fine and makes these look hand made. Let the chocolate cool slightly, then sprinkle on sea salt.Store uncovered until ready to eat or package these beauties up. Let me know if you love these as much as I do!

Oh, yummy! Lidy dear, these are not on my healthy eating plan. Hmmm…..Well, they do contain nuts, that’s good, and chocolate is the other Vitamin “C”…. : )

Wow, this is great, my younger sister loves making these kinds of things, so
I am going to send her a link to this post. I love your posts about antiques, I learn
so much from you. I am enjoying my silver tea set I bought last year. Looking at all
your French porcelain now, for my birthday gift!
