Ingredients

Scale

Base Mixture

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup pitted dates, soaked
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar or monk fruit sweetener
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Coating

  • 1 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Mixture: Add pecans, soaked dates, coconut sugar or monk fruit, sea salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) to a food processor. Pulse until a sticky dough forms, scraping down the sides occasionally. This ensures an even, cohesive mixture.
  2. Form the Bites: Roll the sticky dough into small balls and place them on a lined cookie sheet. Gently flatten each ball slightly with your palm to create bite-sized discs.
  3. Chill: Place the formed bites in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up and make them easier to handle during chocolate dipping.
  4. Melt Chocolate: While the bites chill, melt the chocolate chips until smooth using a microwave or double boiler, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  5. Dip and Decorate: Dip each chilled bite into the melted chocolate to coat it fully. Return the coated bites to the cookie sheet and place a pecan on top for garnish.
  6. Freeze to Set: Place the cookie sheet back in the freezer until the chocolate hardens completely, about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

  • Store the pecan pie bites in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain their freshness and texture.
  • If you prefer or are allergic to pecans, substitute with any other nut of your choice like walnuts or almonds.
