I love that you can either make this recipe with a homemade pecan pie or if time is short, purchase a store bought. Both versions are GREAT!

After I baked a fantastic pecan pie, or pick up a great pre-baked pecan pie, I used a cookie scoop to make little pecan pie mounds. Drizzle with melted chocolate, let set and you’ve got yourself an adorable Holiday dessert that looks great on your table!

What You’ll Need

  • corn syrup– Look for the Karo corn syrup in the baking section.
  • large eggs– For consistency, use large eggs for all of your baking.
  • granulated sugar– This fine sugar gives the pie its sweetness.
  • butter– You can use salted or unsalted butter for this recipe.
  • 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.

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.
