• 7. NOTE: I made these this weekend and grab a bag a Nestle semi-sweet choco chips accidently. I prefer milk choco chips. Also I prefer less chocolate and when not in a hurry I like to buy a couple bars of good milk chocolate. Melt that and drizzle it on the bars. They look very pretty this way and you can enjoy the taste of the pecans vs. chocolate!
