2. Combine Ingredients: Once the chocolate chips are melted to a smooth consistency, remove them from the heat source. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until you achieve a smooth mixture.

3. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar into the chocolate mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a stiff consistency. Adjust the amount of powdered sugar as needed to reach the desired texture.

4. Refrigerate (if necessary): If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate it briefly until it firms up slightly, making it easier to handle.

5. Assemble Stuffed Pecans: Take one pecan half and place a rounded teaspoonful of the chocolate mixture onto its flat side. Then, gently press another pecan half onto the chocolate mixture to create a sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining pecan halves and chocolate mixture.

6. Chill: Once all the pecans are stuffed, transfer them to the refrigerator to set. This helps the chocolate filling to firm up and holds the pecans together.

7. Serve: Once chilled, these delectable Chocolatey Stuffed Pecans are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful dessert or snack option.

8. Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness.

Enjoy the rich and indulgent flavors of these Chocolatey Stuffed Pecans, perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings any time of the year! 🍫🌰
