Ingredients

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large saute pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter.

Add the brown sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves and is bubbly. Add the pecans.

Season the pecans with salt, cayenne, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar starts to caramelize and coat the pecans evenly. Cook for about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and spread the pecans over a parchment lined baking sheet. Place the pan in the oven and roast the pecans for about 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely. Break the pecans into small pieces. Fill three small saucepans half way up the pan with water. Place the pans over medium heat and bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. In three separate mixing bowls, add each type of chips into the individual bowls. Place the bowls over the saucepans. After about 2 minutes over the heat the chocolate will start to melt. Stir each chocolate until totally melted. Remove the chocolate from heat and stir 1 tablespoon of butter into each bowl of chocolate. Pour each type of chocolate over the marble or a large parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the pecans and cherries over the chocolates. Using a metal spatula, spread the mixture out evenly back and forth to about 1/4-inch thick. Either place the marble in the refrigerator or allow to sit out until set, about a couple of hours. Break the bark into medium pieces and serve.

    Made this as a Holiday gift, and it was fantastic. I burned the first batch of pecans (user error,but the other batches were perfect. The cherries really make this recipe.

    The recipe does not give the amount of spices to use!! The sugar and butter did not come together...it clumped. I did'nt even finish the recipe. I think the recipe does not give enough instructions or something!
