Well it happened again. I was up at 3am. This time I decided to try and take it easy.... perhaps no cooking or baking. I was successful until about 5am when I realized I had nothing to post for today.
Off I went in search of the perfect "I'm pretty sleep and don't want to mess this up recipe." I found it in VCIYCJ. No Bake Pecan Chocolate (page 228).... no baking music to my ears.
I had all the ingredients sitting in my pantry just waiting to be used. These are really good. Not overly sweet and they have a nice crunch from the nuts.
I used a little less brown rice syrup as I ran out but they still turned out well.
I think next time I would press them down a little more. They are pretty sticky and messy when putting them together but well worth it. If you like pecans and chocolate this is made for you.

| Me getting fancy again |
Who doesn't love a good drop cookie? Do you have a favorite recipe?
They look fantastic and you were up so early! No bakes sound like the perfect thing to make, much less effort but still delicious finished product! I like choc + pecans so I will have to get out my copy and make these :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like them. No cakes were perfect choice
DeleteThey look great!!! Are they more chewy or crunchy?
ReplyDeleteI think crunchy.... although the brown rice syrup adds a nice chewiness to them. My friend at work has already requested I make them again.
DeleteThese look and sound delish! And no-bake? Even better (especially in the wee hours of the morning)!
ReplyDeleteI've never really noticed that recipe in the book but your review has got me interested in trying them. I do like the taste of brown rice syrup so can imagine these would be gorgeous.
