SALTED MAPLE PECAN BARK
Salted maple pecan Bark
Sometimes you feel like a sweet treat or a piece of chocolate and either you feel guilty for having it or there isn’t any. Not anymore! Only problem we find, and yes it’s not just me, is that it’s so moreish. You find yourself walking to and fro to the freezer and grabbing another piece, it’s so hard stopping at one.
Its relatively cheap once you haven the basic ingredients and you can experiment with different flavour combinations. But I must say that pecans and maple syrup seem like the perfect match. Crunchy from the pecans yet smooth and creamy with the right amount of sweetness. Reminiscent of Pecan Pie just so cool and tantilising, it’s almost like a pecan pie ice cream…..Oh stop it , I need to make some more.
