Move over Nutella. Welcome a newer, healthier version.
Actually I made a chocolate spread before. You can read about it here. It’s made with sunflower seeds so it is the best option for people with tree nut allergies. But I can eat pecans so I tend to make this one more frequently than the sunflower seed one. I think this is a bit creamier.
It goes well on toast, rice cakes, celery and straight out of the container. Eat it however you want!

I love that you used pecans in here–I don’t use them enough! And I love any kind of chocolate nut butter, of course. Thanks for linking to WellnessWeekend! 🙂
Do you toast your pecans first or just put them in raw?
I just put them in raw. I have never had good luck roasting nuts…I seem to always burn them! 🙂
looks good to me:) I made something similar with toasted almonds a couple of days ago – scrummy!
Thank you! I think any tree nut would work…anybody can make the recipe work for them!
