What if my mixture is too sticky to roll?

Chill the mixture for 30 minutes before rolling, and keep your hands slightly damp. If it's still sticky, gradually add more powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time.

Can I use different nuts in this no bake recipe?

Absolutely! Walnuts or finely chopped almonds work perfectly. Just make sure to chop them to the same small size for consistent texture and easy rolling.

How do I know when they're properly chilled?

The pecan balls should feel firm to the touch and hold their shape when gently pressed. If they're still soft or leave fingerprints, chill for another 30 minutes.

Instructions

Finely chop pecans until they resemble tiny nuggets. In a large bowl, combine chopped pecans with softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Stir in vanilla extract until well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Scoop out small portions of mixture and roll into balls about one inch in diameter, aiming for uniformity.
Roll each ball in graham cracker crumbs until fully coated, ensuring complete coverage.
Place finished balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Serve chilled straight from the refrigerator.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for smooth mixing. Measure ingredients carefully to avoid sticky mixture.
Don’t skip the chilling step as it helps balls hold their shape. Can substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds for different flavor.
