What Are Vanilla Melting Wafers?
Technically they are not chocolate, but they taste like white chocolate and they are made to melt really well. I use Ghiradelli White Vanilla Flavored Melting Wafers.
How To Make White Chocolate Pecan Candy
- Toast the pecans. Bake them for about 8 minutes at 350 degrees F. Stir them about halfway through. Watch them carefully. They burn quickly.
- Microwave the melting wafers and sweetened condensed milk until the melting wafers are melted.
- Stir in pecans, vanilla extract and salt.
- Quickly spread it out on parchment paper. You can spread it as thick or as thin as you want.
- Refrigerate until set. Cut into squares.
Variation
For extra flavor, try adding 1/4 cup of chopped dried cranberries.
How To Store
Store at room temperature for 5 days, in the refrigerator for 10 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
