No Bake Pecan Pie Balls With Chocolate Coating
These No Bake Pecan Pie Balls With Chocolate Coating are bite-size treats bursting with nutty pecan pie flavor, wrapped in a smooth chocolate shell. Perfect for holiday gifts or quick snacks!
Ingredients
- 1 cup pecan halves finely chopped (or pecan meal)
- 1/2 cup pitted Medjool dates softened
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips for coating
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional, for smoother melting
- Optional sea salt flakes or extra chopped pecans for garnish
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse pecan halves until coarse. Add dates, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt; pulse until mixture clumps together.
- Dampen your hands or wear gloves and scoop heaping teaspoons of mixture, rolling into 1-inch balls. Arrange on parchment to prevent sticking.
- Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes so the balls firm up—it makes dipping much easier.
- Set up a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl; combine chocolate chips with coconut oil and heat gently until smooth.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, submerge each ball in melted chocolate, letting excess drip back into the bowl, then place on clean parchment.
- Sprinkle sea salt flakes or chopped pecans over coated balls, then chill for another 25–30 minutes until chocolate fully sets.
- Enjoy the No Bake Pecan Pie Balls With Chocolate Coating chilled or at room temperature as a Dessert or Snack!
