Ingredients

1.	Pre-heat oven to Gas mark 2 / 300°f / 150°c
2.	Brush a baking tray with a little butter or oil
3.	Whisk the egg white in a bowl until foamy.
4.	Add the sugar, spices and salt and whisk the mixture until thick and opaque
5.	Add the pecans and stir until coated.
6.	Using a fork, lift them out and place onto the baking tray slightly spaced apart. Discard the remaining mixture, or use to make more candied nuts for nibbling.
7.	Bake the nuts for 20 minutes, then take out and stir with a metal spoon to turn them. Place back in the oven for another 20 minutes until golden brown, and then leave to cool on the tray.
8.	Melt the chocolate gently in a bowl over hot water.
9.	Take the chocolate off the heat, and add a few drops at a time of Egg Nog flavouring, until desired taste achieved.
10.	Stir the chocolate gently to cool it then pour onto a large baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Grate a little nutmeg over the top, then scatter the candied pecans.
11.	Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature before placing into a fridge. Once hardened, snap into pieces, and place into gift bags.
