Instructions
Step 1: Toast the Pecans (Optional)
- 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
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, and brown sugar. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Add the corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
Step 3: Shape the Balls
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball between your hands.
- Repeat until all the dough is used, placing the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Coat (Optional)
- Roll the balls in powdered sugar for a sweet coating, if desired.
- Alternatively, drizzle with melted chocolate or dip them entirely for a more decadent treat.
Step 5: Chill
- Refrigerate the pecan pie balls for at least 1 hour to firm up.
