    Ingredients

    • Pecan Halves - I like the flavor and texture of pecan halves, but since you are grinding them, chopped pecans work too. Just remember to toast!
    • Unsweetened Shredded Coconut: Make sure you read the label and ensure that you are buying unsweetened coconut.
    • Sweetener - I use Swerve confectioners, but any powdered sugar sweetener works here.
    • Salt: My go-to is fine sea salt. If you are using a different type of salt, adjust the quantity accordingly.
    • Butter: Kerrygold is my go-to brand, but whatever brand you like works!
