Ginger pecan chocolate slice

Ginger has such a wonderful flavour. The vibrant spice is one of my favourite Ingredients in desserts. I threw together some ingredients, and this was the result. Some delicious ginger pecan chocolate slices!

They freeze quite well if you don't want to eat them all at once. I sometimes freeze my desserts to stop me wolfing them all down. If they are in the fridge I find myself wanting one every time I walk past the fridge, but if I have to defrost them I eat them much less often.
