Pecan-Chocolate Streusel

A streusel forked into its own recipe per the archive's rule that accompanying components (glazes, marinades, rubs, sauces, etc.) are kept as standalone recipes. It also remains inline in Best Coffee Cake, where it is originally used.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick (450 g)) chilled salted butter, diced
• 1 cups (240 ml) coarsely chopped pecans
• 1 cup (240 ml) semisweet chocolate chips

Method

1. To make the streusel, whisk the brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl to blend. Add the butter and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture holds together in small, moist clumps. Mix in the pecans and chocolate chips.
2. The streusel can be made up to 3 days ahead; cover and refrigerate.
