Yield Makes about 40 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups toasted pecan halves
3 tablespoons superfine granulated sugar
1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs (from about three 5- by 2 1/2-inch graham crackers)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Finely chop 1/2 cup pecans.
  • In a food processor grind remaining 2 cups pecans with a pinch salt, occasionally scraping down side of bowl, until pecans release their oil and mixture becomes a smooth paste, about 3 minutes. Transfer pecan butter to a bowl and stir in remaining ingredients until combined well.
  • Form level teaspoons of pecan butter into balls and roll, no more than 2 at a time, in chopped pecans, pressing pecans gently to make adhere. Chill truffles, in layers separated by wax paper, in an airtight container at least 1 hour, or until firm, and up to 4 days.

I've tried a lot of different truffle recipes, but these are by far the best. They're so smooth and creamy, and the chocolate coating is just perfect.

I was a bit skeptical about making these truffles because I'm not a huge fan of pecans. But I'm so glad I gave them a try! The pecan butter filling is amazing and the truffles are so easy to make.
