Pecan Pie Balls:
Ingredients:
– 1 cup chopped pecans
– 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
– 1/4 cup corn syrup
– 1/4 cup melted butter
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Combine the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a cohesive, sticky dough.
2. Chill the Mixture: Place the bowl in the refrigerator for approximately 1 hour to allow the dough to firm up for easier handling.
3. Shape the Balls: After chilling, take small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your palms.
4. Optional Coating: For added flavor, consider rolling the balls in crushed pecans, powdered sugar, or dipping them in melted chocolate.
