INGREDIENTS:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons melted salted butter
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dickey Farms maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups chopped Dickey Farms pecans
6oz semi-sweet chocolate
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Line a tray or plate with parchment paper. Set aside.
Place the graham crackers into a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, heavy cream, maple syrup, and salt. Mix until combined. Add in the graham crackers, and the chopped pecans to the mixture. Mix well. Use a small cookie scoop, scoop up the mixture, and form it into a ball. The structure will be sticky and thick. Place it on a prepared tray. Place the tray in the freezer for at least 45 minutes.
In a heat-proof bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate and oil. Melt the chocolate in the microwave. Use 15-20 seconds increments at 50%. Make sure to stir well in between each. Take the pecan pie balls out of the freezer and coat each of them with melted chocolate. Sprinkle some chopped pecans on top. Place back on the tray in the fridge for 1 hour or until the chocolate is set.
Serve and enjoy!
