10 Servings | Ready in 40 minutes | Good for Dessert | 6qt Instant Pot
Instant Pot Trick:
I'm not kidding on how simple this trick is. In your Instant Pot place 5-6 cups water and set to Saute'.
Using a larger glass bowl, place on top of your Instant Pot. This will create a double boiler.
Place your chocolate pieces in the bowl and allow the water to heat up below. As the water heats up, the chocolate will melt.
Stir with a rubber or silicone spatula until smooth. Turn Instant Pot to Warm to keep melted chocolate a perfect consistency.

How do you thin chocolate for dipping?
Often times you will need to thin chocolate down for the perfect dipping consistency.
I use shortening. Add 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Shortening will melt, like the chocolate and stir until smooth. As the chocolate and shortening cool, it will harden up perfectly.
How to Store Chocolate Dipped Pecan Sandies Cookies:
After you have dipped your Pecan Sandies Cookies, place on wax paper until hardened. Then store in an airtight container with wax paper separating layers as needed.
Can you Freeze Chocolate Dipped Cookies?
Of course you can freeze Chocolate Dipped Pecan Sandies Cookies.
In fact, I've done it often as it saves me time when I need a fun treat or dessert.
Lay cookies flat and separate with wax paper to separate layers. Freeze.
When ready to eat, pull out of the freezer and allow to sit on counter for 30 minutes or more. Enjoy!
How Long will Cookies last in the Freezer?
Cookies will last up to 3 months in the freezer. If you can keep cookies around that long, we need to be friend! Mine seem to disappear in less than a month!
