Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup corn syrup
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup powdered sugar (for coating)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small cookie scoop (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and graham cracker crumbs; stir until smooth.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
  5. Let the balls cool for a few minutes before rolling them in powdered sugar.

Notes

For a twist, substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds. Honey or maple syrup can replace corn syrup.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.
For a chocolatey version, roll some balls in cocoa powder instead of powdered sugar.
To enhance flavors, toast pecans lightly before chopping. Enjoy these delightful treats with coffee, tea, or milk!
