Step 1: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the chopped pecans, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, light corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix well until the mixture comes together and is slightly sticky.
Step 2: Form the Balls
Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3: Chill
Refrigerate the pecan balls for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Step 4: Dip in Chocolate
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or using a double boiler until smooth.
Dip each pecan ball into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly.
Place the dipped balls back on the parchment paper.
Step 5: Garnish and Set
Sprinkle with crushed pecans or a pinch of sea salt before the chocolate sets, if desired.
Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Serve and Enjoy
Transfer the pecan pie balls to a serving plate or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
