Categories     Candies

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 1/2 cup(s) pecans, toasted and chopped
1 cup(s) graham crackers, crushed (vanilla wafers, Oreos can be subbed if you do not like graham crackers)
1 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt (if you can not handle the sodium, don't use it!)
2 tablespoon(s) maple syrup
1/4 cup(s) bourbon, brandy or spiced rum. non alcoholic version: use almond extract, rum extract, or any other that may suit your taste. add a little water/juice to equal the liquid amount.
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
7 ounce(s) dark chocolate bark. If you prefer white chocolate...go for it!
1 teaspoon(s) coarse sea salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine first four ingredients in large bowl.
  • Add maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla.
  • Use your hands to make sure all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Almond extract can be subbed for non-alcohol version... add water to equal liquid amount. You can also try non-alcohol rum flavoring.
  • Form balls by scooping a tablespoon size amount of mixture.
  • Roll in hands to form balls.
  • Place balls on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place cookie sheet in the freezer for 2 hrs. Tip: After all balls are made, roll balls again with slightly water damped hands. This will make balls smooth before dipping in chocolate.
  • Melt chocolate bark in a double boiler or microwave per directions on package.
  • Dip frozen balls into chocolate.
  • Then place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Optional: Sprinkle a few grains of coarse sea salt on balls before the chocolate sets.
  • These freeze well. Take out of the freezer and let sit for 15 minutes. They are also good frozen!
