Pecan Pie Balls: A Bite-Sized Sweet Delight

If you love the rich, nutty flavor of pecan pie but want a fun, bite-sized version, Pecan Pie Balls are the perfect treat. These little dessert spheres are packed with the same sweet, buttery filling and crunchy pecans, wrapped in a smooth chocolate coating. They are perfect for parties, holiday gatherings, or simply as a decadent snack. Here’s a detailed guide on how to make them from scratch.

Ingredients

For the Pecan Pie Filling:

• 1 cup pecans, chopped
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

For the Dough:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Coating:

• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for a smoother coating)

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Pecan Pie Filling

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt.
2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken slightly (about 3–5 minutes).
3. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans. Set aside to cool. The filling should be sticky but firm enough to form into balls.
