Chocolate Amaretto Pecans - 12oz Bag

This is one of our most distinctive flavored pecans, and it tastes exactly like it sounds. Premium Texas pecan halves from our own orchard are coated in rich milk chocolate, then enhanced with the warm almond-and-cherry essence of amaretto. The chocolate provides a creamy base, the amaretto adds a sophisticated almond note with a hint of warmth, and the pecan inside provides the toasty crunch. The flavor combination feels grown-up and dessert-like, which is why so many folks reach for these alongside a glass of wine or a cup of coffee rather than as a casual snack.

The amaretto element is purely a flavor essence, not alcohol. The pecans are completely safe for anyone who avoids alcohol for any reason, including children, pregnant women, and folks in recovery. The almond-and-cherry character that amaretto is known for comes through clearly without any of the alcohol content of the actual liqueur. This is a common confectionery technique that lets you enjoy the signature flavor profile without the spirit itself.

All three are chocolate-coated pecans, but the flavor experiences are very different. Plain milk chocolate pecans focus on the chocolate and pecan combination as a straightforward classic. Dark chocolate pecans add cocoa depth and less sweetness for folks who prefer a richer chocolate note. Chocolate Amaretto Pecans take the milk chocolate base and layer in that distinctive amaretto almond-cherry character, which makes them taste more like a sophisticated dessert than a snack. If you love a classic chocolate pecan, go basic. If you love depth, go dark. If you love something that feels like a special occasion, go amaretto.

They work beautifully on their own, but a 12 ounce bag goes a long way when you start using them in other ways. Sprinkle a chopped handful over a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an instant elegant dessert. Add them to a cheese and charcuterie board as the sweet element that pairs with strong cheeses and dried fruits. Fold them into homemade trail mix or granola for an upgraded snack. Crush them and use them as a topping for cupcakes, brownies, or a chocolate ganache pie. They also make a thoughtful component of a dessert gift basket alongside coffee, tea, or chocolate.

The bag is resealable, which is what makes a 12 ounce serving practical. After opening, press the air out and seal the bag tightly, then store it in a cool, dry spot. The pecans will hold their flavor and crunch for several weeks at room temperature. Keep in mind that the chocolate will melt when exposed to temperatures above 80°F, so avoid leaving the bag in direct sunlight or anywhere warm. For longer storage, refrigerate the sealed bag or transfer the pecans to an airtight container in the freezer. Let chilled pecans return to room temperature for a few minutes before serving so the chocolate softens back to its proper texture.
