📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pour the pecans into a large skillet and toast, stirring often, over medium, heat until fragrant. This will take about 4 to ⏱️ 8 minutes.
2
Pour the toasted pecans into a food processor and blend, pausing to scrape down the sides with a spatula often. It will be crumbly at first, but will eventually blend into super-creamy goodness after five to fifteen minutes (mine took about ⏱️ 6 minutes).
3
Add a pinch of kosher salt. Blend again, taste, and add more salt if needed.

4
Dump the pecan butter into a large bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer, beat the pecan butter and butter until combined. add vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until combined. The dough will not be stiff.

8
While freezing, melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave (stirring every ⏱️ 30 seconds).
9
