Ingredients

• 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 8 oz dark or milk chocolate (for coating)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the light corn syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture is well-combined and sticky enough to hold its shape.
3. Form the Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.
4. Melt the Chocolate: While the pecan balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.
5. Coat the Balls: Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, letting any excess chocolate drip off. Place them back onto the parchment paper.
6. Set the Coating: Allow the chocolate coating to set by refrigerating the balls for an additional 20-30 minutes.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is firm, your pecan pie balls are ready to enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
