If you like chocolate, pecans and caramel sauce, I have a special recipe for you Caramel Pecan Truffles. Do you like the smell of baked pecans.
Caramel Pecan Truffles
I am baking them right now, because I am planning to make a special dessert, we all like. A special dessert, for special occasions, like Thanksgiving Day, for example.
Caramel Pecan Truffles are delicious balls of pecans, graham crackers and caramel sauce, covered with chocolate. Yummy. These perfect bites simply melt in your mouth 🙂
Caramel Pecan Truffles
I adore Caramel Pecan Truffles because they are easy to make, they look great, and taste even better. As usual, I have my little helper – my son is always by my side.
We mix ingredients together; he makes the truffles (with my help, of course). He likes to help me in the kitchen and we usually make chocolate sweets.

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.

Caramel Pecan Truffles
If you like chocolate, pecans and caramel sauce, I have a special recipe for you - Caramel Pecan Truffles. Do you like the smell of baked pecans?
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup graham crackers crumbs
- 2 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup caramel topping
- pinch of salt
- 1 1/8 cup semi sweet mini chocolate chip
- 2 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
They can be served immediately or kept in a well sealed container, in the fridge no longer than 7 days, or in the freezer up to 2 weeks

Thank you 🙂
Your truffles are adorable Dragana! I can literally imagine how they break when I take a bite. Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos!
Thank YOU Elaine,
I`m so glad you like it 🙂
Dragana.
Step 1. Preheat the oven to 350. Is this really necessary since there is no baking involved? Maybe I’m missing something here. Also, I’ve made truffles before and never baked them.
Hi Kyle,
