Ingredients You’ll Need

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz chocolate chips or melting chocolate, for coating

How to Make Pecan Pie Balls

  1. Mix the base: In a bowl, combine crushed cookies, chopped pecans, cream cheese, caramel sauce, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended and sticky enough to form balls.
  2. Shape the balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Chill: Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Coat with chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each ball in melted chocolate, then return to the parchment to set.
  5. Chill again: Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes.
