Directions: |
Directions:1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large sauté pan, melt 4 T of butter. Add brown sugar & stir until sugar dissolves & is bubbly.
3. Add pecans. Season with salt, cayenne, nutmeg, & cinnamon. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until sugar starts to caramelize & coat pecans evenly. Cook for approximately 4 minutes.
4. Remove pan from heat & spread pecans over a parchment lined baking sheet.
5. Place pan in oven & roast pecans for approximately 6 minutes.
6. Fill 3 small saucepans halfway up the pan; then reduce to simmer.
7. In 3 separate mixing bowls, add each type of chocolate into individual bowls. Place bowls over saucepans. After about 2 minutes over the heat, the chocolate will start to melt. Stir each chocolate until totally melted.
8. Remove chocolate bowls from heat & stir 1 T of butter into each bowl of chocolate. Pour each type of chocolate over the parchment paper-lined baking sheet (or onto a slab of marble).
9. Sprinkle pecans & cherries over chocolates.
10. Using a metal spatula, spread mixture out evenly back & forth to about 1/4 inch thick. Either place pan in refrigerator or allow to sit on counter until set, about a couple of hours.
11. Break bark into medium pieces & serve. |
