Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

  • 1 tablespoon bourbo n
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, and light brown sugar.
  • Add the dark corn syrup, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt to the dry mixture.
  • Stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
  • Using a small scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  • Melt the dark chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  • Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each ball into the chocolate, tapping off the excess.
  • Return the balls to the parchment paper and immediately top each with a pecan half.
  • Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature before serving.
