Pecan Pie Balls (No-Bake)

Ingredients

• 2 cups pecans, toasted & finely chopped
• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• ¼ cup bourbon or apple juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup chocolate chips, melted (for dipping)

Method

1. Mix It Up:
   In a large bowl, combine pecans, graham crumbs, brown sugar, and salt.
2. Flavor Boost:
   Stir in maple syrup, bourbon (or apple juice), and vanilla extract until everything is evenly moistened. The mixture should stick together when pressed.
3. Shape:
   Roll into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch). Place them on parchment paper.
4. Chill:
   Refrigerate or freeze for 15–20 minutes so they firm up nicely.
5. Dip & Set:
   Dip each ball into melted chocolate, then return to parchment paper. Let the chocolate set (you can pop them in the fridge for faster results).

Storage Tip:

Keep in an airtight container in the fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 2 months.
