🧺 Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups finely chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed

  • ¼ cup maple syrup or corn syrup

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (for coating)

  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Pecan Pie Balls

Step 1: Make the Filling

In a large bowl, mix together chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, vanilla, and salt.
Stir until the mixture is sticky and well combined.

Step 2: Shape the Balls

Scoop out about a tablespoon of mixture and roll into small balls.
Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.

Step 3: Coat in Chocolate

Melt chocolate chips (and coconut oil, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Dip each pecan pie ball into the melted chocolate, coating evenly.

Place back on parchment paper and sprinkle with a few chopped pecans on top for a pretty finish.

Step 4: Chill & Serve

Refrigerate again for 15–20 minutes until chocolate is set.

That’s it! No oven, no fuss — just delicious, melt-in-your-mouth pecan pie flavor in every bite.
