How to Make Pecan Pie Balls
- 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.
- Shape the balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- 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.
- Chill again: Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm, about 20 minutes.
