• pure vanilla extract- For best tasting results use pure vanilla in your baking.

How To Make Pecan Bites

You want to make sure you let your pecan pie cool completely before scooping the pie into bite size scoops. You can absolutely use a store-bought pecan pie for this recipe as well. Use a small-medium cookie scoop to form little bites then transfer to parchment paper. Make sure you get pieces of pie crust in each bite.

Preheat Oven To 350°F.

Prepare Pecan Pie Mixture. In a large bowl, mix corn syrup, eggs, sugar, butter and vanilla using a spoon. Stir in pecans. Pour filling into pie crust.

Bake. Bake on center rack of oven for 60 to 70 minutes (see tips for doneness, below). Cool for 2 hours on wire rack before serving.

Scoop Pecan Pie Onto Parchment Paper. When pie is completely cool, use a small-medium cookie scoop and scoop baked pecan pie pieces and transfer to parchment paper.

Drizzle Chocolate Over Pie Bites. Drizzle melted chocolate over tops of bites, covering most of the bites. Let chocolate set then serve room temperature or chilled.

Beautiful little bites, worth every minute of prep work!

Recipe Tips For Success

• Make the homemade pecan pie a day or even two in advance, so when you go to make the dessert, it’s quick and easy.
• If you don’t have time to make your own pecan pie, use a homemade pie. It works just fine!
• Heat your chocolate up in batches to avoid it hardening part way.

How To Serve

Serve these cute bites at your upcoming Holiday party. They’re best enjoyed at room temperature.
