Chocolate Rocks Recipes

CHOCOLATE ROCK

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. In a double boiler, melt the semisweet and milk chocolates with the oil over hot (not simmering) water, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
• Remove the top part of the double boiler and let the chocolate cool to tepid (the chocolate might thicken slightly as it cools). Stir the pecans and chopped white chocolate into the cooled melted chocolate and pour the mixture out onto the prepared cookie sheet. Spread to the desired thickness. Refrigerate 20 - 30 minutes, or until set. Slide a metal spatula under the chocolate to loosen from the foil. Break into uneven pieces.
