Make these simple, bite-sized pecan pie balls without turning on your oven. They capture the classic pecan pie flavor in a quick, easy treat perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for optional coating)

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped pecans, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl. Mix them together well.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, uniform dough forms.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Scoop the chilled dough using a small cookie scoop or spoon. Roll the dough between your palms to form 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. If coating, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Dip the bottom half of each ball into the melted chocolate, or drizzle chocolate over the tops.
  8. Return the coated balls to the parchment paper and chill until the chocolate sets, about 15 minutes.

Notes

  • For a stronger pecan flavor, lightly toast the pecans before chopping and using them in the recipe.
  • If you do not have graham cracker crumbs, you can substitute with vanilla wafer crumbs.
  • Store the finished pecan pie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
