(THM-S SNACK/TREAT) Skinny Chocolate Pecan Praline Drops

Missing caramel, while determined to live "sugar-free"? Me too!! Try this!
Two steps here. First, mix up your batch of Skinny Chocolate. My versions of SK is this-1/4 Cup Refined Coconut Oil (melted in the microwave), 1/4 Cup Cocoa Powder, 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract. Now, use your blender/Bullet, to make a soft "powder" out of 1 scoop of Swanson Whey Protein Powder, 3 TBSP Truvia and a pinch of Sea Salt, then add this to your chocolate mix. Stir it well, until everything is dissolved! Last-Add 1 TBSP of WARM (maybe 15 seconds in microwave) Heavy Whipping Cream. You're going to think you've ruined the batch, but believe me, it's going to work! Now mix well, and it looks like a grainy gel! Quickly drop these "oval shapes", about one tsp each, onto a sheet of parchment paper (for easy removal later). Top each chocolate drop, with a half pecan, or you may choose to add the pecan last, just because it is pretty. Set these aside and make your caramel. It's easy!! In a saucepan on medium heat, mix together, 3 TBSP Heavy Whipping Cream, 2 TBSP Butter, 1/4 tsp Caramel Extract, 1 TBSP Truvia. Stir this CONSTANTY. You'll know it's ready, when it becomes glossy/shiny and "ribbon-like" (sticky/streaming). Now, use a spoon to drizzle just a small amount on each of the chocolates. This recipe yields 25-28 drops. Enjoy! PIN IT!
