Instructions

Step 1: Toast the Pecans (Optional)

  1. If desired, toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant. Let them cool completely before using.

Step 2: Mix the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine the chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, and brown sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Add the corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3: Shape the Balls

  1. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball between your hands.
  2. Repeat until all the dough is used, placing the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Coat (Optional)

  1. Roll the balls in powdered sugar for a sweet coating, if desired.
  2. Alternatively, drizzle with melted chocolate or dip them entirely for a more decadent treat.
