No-Bake Pecan Balls
Now that we got Thanksgiving out of the way we can move on to Christmas! These Pecan Pie Balls are a MUST for your holiday cookie tray. These things are SOOOO good! They taste just like pecan pie. The chocolate candy coating really puts these Pecan Balls over the top!
How to Make Maple Pecan Balls
The Pecan Pie Balls are very easy to make. Start with chopping the pecans. I put my pecans in a food processor and pulsed them a couple of times. You want the pecans in very small pieces.Once you have the pecans chopped, mix the pecans with some graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Form the pecan mixture into balls and place them in the freezer. Freezing the balls will make them easier to dip in the chocolate.
If you want to make Bourbon Pecan Balls, swap some of the maple syrup for bourbon.
For the chocolate coating, I used chocolate almond bark. Feel free to swap the almond bark for melted chocolate chips or chocolate bars. You can also dip the Pecan Balls in white almond bark or melted white chocolate.

These Pecan Balls were a huge hit at our house. I shared some with friends, and everyone LOVED them! These are great for holiday parties and cookie trays. They also make great homemade gifts for teachers, co-workers, bus drivers, and friends. Package the Pecan Balls in a cute box or in some cellophane bags for an easy and delicious gift!We all know you can't have just one dessert at the holidays.
