Notes
Toast the pecans: Roasting them brings out the best flavor. Don’t overbake: The center should still be slightly wobbly when you remove it from the oven. Use good quality chocolate: It makes a noticeable difference in taste. Let it cool fully: This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
