@thebigleybasics: Chocolate Covered Salted Caramel Pecan Pie Truffles! It doesn’t get much better than this — these little bites of heaven are rich, gooey, and impossible to resist. Even better, they’re gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and completely no-bake — the perfect holiday treat! For the Pecan Truffles: ½ cup almond or cashew butter 3 tbsp pure maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract ¼ tsp salt ⅓ cup coconut flour ½ cup chopped pecans For the Salted Caramel: 2 tbsp cashew butter 2 tbsp pure maple syrup ½ tsp vanilla extract ⅛ tsp salt For the Chocolate Coating: 3 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate (I use dairy-free and refined sugar-free chocolate) 2–3 tsp coconut oil Instructions: 1. Make the Pecan Truffles: In a bowl, stir together the almond or cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the coconut flour and chopped pecans, then mix until fully combined and dough-like. 2. Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to firm up. 3. Prepare the Salted Caramel: In a small bowl or saucepan, combine the cashew butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth, then warm gently for a few seconds — just until runny (do not overheat). 4. Coat with Caramel: Remove the truffle balls from the refrigerator and coat each one with the caramel. Return them to the tray and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the caramel has hardened. 5. Melt the Chocolate: Combine the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler and heat until melted, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Let cool for a few minutes before dipping. 6. Dip in Chocolate: Remove the caramel-coated truffles from the freezer. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, place them back on the tray, then drizzle with any remaining chocolate. Sprinkle with crushed pecans if desired. 7. Set and Serve: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has fully hardened then dig in and enjoy! Store in the fridge (or freezer for long term storage). #pecanpie #chocolatepecanpie #glutenfreedessert #dairyfreedessert #refinedsugarfreetreats
