Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2½ cup pecan halves, (finely chopped)
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
½ cup maple syrup
4 to 6 Tbsp melted butter
1 (24-oz) package chocolate almond bark

Steps:

  • Combine chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, vanilla, and maple syrup. Stir to combine. Add melted butter only until the mixture comes together and can be easily shaped into balls. (Depending on how you chopped your ingredients, you may have some leftover butter.)

  • Place balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the refrigerator or freezer for an hour.

  • Remove balls from refrigerator and dip into the chocolate almond bark.

GRANDMA'S PECAN BALLS (FROM AUNT KATIE)



Grandma's Pecan Balls (From Aunt Katie) image

I always thought the origin of these cookies was Germany, and my paternal Grandmother set me straight when I asked for the recipe today - it came from Aunt Katie (who isn't really my Aunt, she's my godmother). In any case, here are my most favourite cookies that Grandma makes - I'll have to post the rest of the authentic German recipes she gave me years ago as well... she's been making these since I was kneehigh to a grasshopper!

Time 40m

Yield 30 Cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup flour, all purpose
1 cup ground pecans
1/2 cup butter, unsalted
1 tablespoon sugar
superfine sugar, for rolling (aka fruit sugar) or icing sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cream butter with sugar.
  • Add flour and pecans, mix well.
  • Roll into balls, about the size of a large gumball, and place on a cookie sheet (I prefer to line mine with parchment, but I'm sure cooking spray would do.).
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, or until very lightly browned.
  • While still warm, roll in superfine sugar - this is important because the dough does not have much sugar.
