Calories: 276kcal
Ingredients
- 2 ⅓ cups chopped pecans plus additional pecans for topping
- 8 graham crackers
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons bourbon or vanilla
- 20 ounces dark chocolate chips 2 10 ounce bags
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place pecans on baking sheet. Toast in oven for 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Place graham crackers in a large food processor. Pulse until they resemble fine crumbs.
- Add pecans and pulse until fine crumbs.
- add brown sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, salt, and bourbon. Pulse until it comes together.
- Transfer to a large bowl and mix together completely. I like to use my hands to get it completely combined.
- Form into 2-tablespoon sized truffles. I used a cookie dough scoop and then pressed it together in a ball with my hands.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes.
- Once ready to dip, place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave in 20-second intervals until chocolate is completely melted.
- Dip each truffle in the chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with a teaspoon of chopped pecans.
- Let cool on parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Serve and enjoy!
- Note: these can be also be frozen.
