Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
Servings: 20 truffles
Calories: 120kcal

Ingredients
 

  • 1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans toasted for extra flavor
  • 1 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup corn syrup
  • 1/4 lb 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz semisweet or dark chocolate melted (for dipping)
  • Optional: flaked sea salt or crushed pecans for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the Filling:
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt. Add corn syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Mix until the dough holds together when pressed.
  • Shape the Truffles:
  • Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm.
  • Dip in Chocolate:
  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Dip each chilled truffle in the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, and place back on parchment paper.
  • Garnish (Optional):
  • While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with sea salt or chopped pecans.
  • Chill & Serve:
  • Let the chocolate set completely (refrigerate to speed this up), then serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to a week.
