Here’s a fun, bite-sized twist on the classic dessert—Pecan Pie Balls! 🥧✨
🌟 Ingredients

- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs or crushed vanilla cookies
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup corn syrup or honey (for binding)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for dipping)
🥄 Instructions
- Mix the filling
In a bowl, combine chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla, and corn syrup until sticky enough to form balls. - Form balls
Roll the mixture into small 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray. - Chill
Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up. - Dip in chocolate
Melt chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each ball into the chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to parchment paper. - Set
Refrigerate again until chocolate is firm. - Serve
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
✨ Tips
- Toast the pecans lightly for extra flavor.
- For a mini pie taste, drizzle extra chocolate on top or sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt.
