The mixture will bubble vigorously. Return the mixture to the heat and bring to the boil again. Boil for 3 minutes, watching carefully. Sprinkle the surface with xanthan gum and whisk to combine.

Roasted Pecans and Chocolate Ingredients:

• 4 oz of unsweetened chocolate of your choice (available here)
1 C. tablespoon of butter

Method :
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the pecans on the baking sheet all at once and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until toasted. Arrange the pecans in clusters of 3 or 4, to obtain 20 to 24 clusters. Drizzle a few teaspoons of caramel over each pecan cluster, making sure that some of the caramel touches each of the pecans. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer to harden the caramel. In a small bowl over a double boiler, combine the chocolate and the tablespoon of butter. Stir until the chocolate is melted, then drizzle over the cooled clusters. let it harden and enjoy! 😋
