Am I the only one who eats a slice of pecan pie and thinks:
“This is good… but what if it had chocolate?”
And what if that gooey middle disappeared, too?
Enter Chocolate Pecan Pie Balls.
All the flavors that make you think of fall.
But in one little, chocolate-covered bite.

Chocolate Pecan Pie Balls
You’ll need:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2½ cups finely chopped pecans
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 6–8 tbsp melted butter
- 24 oz chocolate almond bark
How to make them:
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, pecans, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Add just enough melted butter to make the mixture hold together.
Roll into 1-inch balls and chill for 1 hour.
Dip each ball in melted chocolate almond bark.
Let the chocolate set.
Tips:
*Start with the smaller amount of butter. Add more only if the mixture needs help holding together. You want it firm enough to roll, not soft.
- After coating in chocolate, pop in the freezer quickly to get to the taste testing
Save this easy no-bake dessert for Thanksgiving!
