6 oz Chocolate chips -whole pecans)
-(semi-sweet) 1/2 C Sugar (white,
2 1/2 C Vanilla wafers, -granulated)
-crushed fine (a box 1/4 C Corn syrup
-less some nibbles) 1/3 C Cognac (Use the best
1 C Pecans (finely chopped; -you can afford,
-start with 8-10 oz -it makes a difference!)
Melt chocolate bits. If you have never worked with melted chocolate
before, then use a double boiler with the burner set on low.
Crush vanilla wafers very fine (fineness is important). Chop pecans (again
fineness is everything). Add sugar, corn syrup and cognac (I use 1 nip of
cognac and 1/2 nip of rum, works fine and costs less). Stir in pecans and
wafer crumbs. Now you learn why you were supposed to grind them very
finely.
