These decadent little Pecan Pie Truffles are the perfect little bites for holiday indulging AND for gifting friends and family!

Thanksgiving. T-minus 3 days away. Christmas. 35 days away. The holiday hustle and bustle is ON!

At this point most people have planned out their Thanksgiving meal, and a few over achievers may even have a few gifts bought and wrapped for under the tree.

With all the craziness that this year has brought, good and not so good, most important of all….’tis the season to be thankful.

I myself, have many things to be thankful for. And as I grow older, things I took for granted in my younger days are cherished and appreciated so much more.

Today, I am extra thankful for each and everyone of you. It’s the 3rd anniversary of The Beach House Kitchen, and there would be no BHK without you guys. Your comments, likes, follows, and photos you have sent me of recipes you’ve made from the blog have made my job a total delight! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So today, I’m sharing a delicious little treat that’s perfect for holiday indulging, AND for gifting friends and family this holiday season! These Pecan Pie Truffles are decadent little bites that are a holiday staple at our house. They’re so incredibly easy to make, and can be packaged up as gifts all during the season.

A delicious combination of toasted pecans (don’t skip the toasting part), graham crackers crumbs, brown sugar, maple syrup, and bourbon (watch the kiddos!) all rolled into balls and then dipped in chocolate is indulgence at its best. Pecan pie has been one of my favorites for years, so I knew pecan pie truffles with a kick of bourbon would be a little something to be thankful for this holiday season. Enjoy!

Thank you for following The Beach House Kitchen friends. I hope you and your family have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!

Love, Mary Ann XO

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar firmly packed
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
