Key Ingredients

• Pecans: Chopped pecans are the star of these truffles, adding a delicious nutty flavor and crunchy texture. They also bring wonderful flavor to our Maple Honey Pecan Pie.
• Graham cracker crumbs: Give the truffles structure and a slightly sweet, buttery base.
• Caramel topping: Adds rich, gooey caramel flavor that pairs perfectly with chocolate and pecans.
• Light brown sugar: Brings extra sweetness and a subtle molasses flavor that complements the caramel.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips: Create a smooth, rich chocolate coating that balances the sweetness of the caramel filling. For another fun chocolate truffle recipe, try our Peanut Butter Chocolate Acorn Truffles.
• Oil: Helps thin the melted chocolate, making it easier to coat the truffles and giving them a smooth finish.

How to make Caramel Pecan Truffles?

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put chopped pecans and bake for 4- 5 minutes, until fragrant. Leave them aside, to cool.
• In a medium dish, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Add light brown sugar, salt, caramel topping and cooled pecans and mix until well combined.
• Put parchment paper in a baking sheet. Make balls - 1 tablespoon - 1 ball.
• Place the balls on the parchment paper. Chill for about 30 min.
• Melt chocolate and put it in a small deep bowl. Add oil and stir. Take the balls and coat them in the melted chocolate, using a fork.
• Take the balls out with a fork and wait for a couple of seconds for the extra chocolate to drain.
• You should be quick, if you want the truffles to keep their shape.
• Take the balls off the fork using a smaller knife or a toothpick and place them back on the parchment paper.
• Quickly sprinkle with pecans. Repeat with remaining truffles. Put them in the freezer for 10 - 15 min, until the chocolate sets.

He always patently waits for the chocolate leftovers, because he is a true fan. I do the coating of the balls and he covers them with chopped pecans and says that they look fantastic.

He is always so proud when we finish, and so am I. Caramel Pecan Truffles can be stored in a fridge or a freezer.
