Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for coating)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs until well combined.
- Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place these balls on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the delights are golden brown in color.
- Allow the baked balls to cool slightly, then gently roll them in powdered sugar until they are evenly coated.
- The Pecan Pie Delights are now ready to be served. Enjoy them warm for a gooey texture or let them cool completely for a firmer bite.
