  • 1 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Coating

  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (for rolling)

  5. Coat with Graham Cracker Crumbs: Roll each ball in graham cracker crumbs until they are completely coated, adding a delightful crunchy texture.
  6. Chill: Place the coated pecan pie balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to firm up and blend flavors.
