Ingredients

Scale

Pecan Pie Mixture

2 (9 inch) store-bought pecan pies

Coating and Topping

2 cups white chocolate melting discs
½ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Prepare the Pecan Pie Mixture: Place the two store-bought pecan pies into a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for about 1 minute until the mixture resembles sticky cookie dough with only small bits of crust visible.
Form Truffle Balls: Scoop out 1 tablespoon of the pie mixture at a time and carefully roll it between your palms to form smooth balls. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the formed balls for 30 minutes to firm up and make them easier to dip.
Melt the White Chocolate: Pour the white chocolate melting discs into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
Dip Truffles in Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Add the Pecan Topping: Immediately sprinkle the coated truffles with chopped pecans to add a crunchy, nutty finish.
Set the Coating: Return the dipped and topped truffles to the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes to allow the white chocolate to harden and set completely before serving.

Notes

Using store-bought pecan pies saves time and ensures consistent flavor.
Make sure to chill the truffles thoroughly before dipping to prevent them from falling apart in the chocolate.
White chocolate melting discs melt more smoothly and evenly than chopped bars.
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For variation, try dark or milk chocolate coating instead of white chocolate.
