Pecan Pie Truffles

Please See Other Recipes

The first thing you will want to do is toast your pecans.  You can do this simply by laying them on a lightly sprayed baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 5 minutes (for whole pecans).  As soon as they become aromatic, pull them from the oven.
For this recipe, I get the pecan chips instead of the whole pecans.  It saves me the step of having to chop them, not to mention they are typically cheaper than the bag of whole pecans. If you are using the pecan chips instead of the whole, decrease your bake time slightly and keep a close eye on them since they will toast faster.
Once they have chilled for 30 minutes, dip them into your melted chocolate (melt chocolate according to package instructions) and place them on parchment or wax paper. Top with pecan chips immediately as they will not stick to the chocolate once it has cooled.
