Course: Dessert, Snack

Servings: 12 pieces

150 g raw pecans
100 g almond butter (homemade if possible, because roasted almond butter brings this recipe to the next level)
120 g honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp salt

Crush the pecans - a mortar works, a stand mixer with its blade as well. And actually.... if you take a full handful of pecan, you can crush them very easily in your hands :-)
Then roast the pecans in a pan, on low/medium heat. Don't add any fat, just the pecans.
While they're roasting, put a large pot on your scale, and to save dishes, weight the other ingredients one at a time : almond butter, honey vanilla, and salt.
Keep an eye on the pecans, as they burn very fast !
Once ready, pour the pecans in the pot, leaving the small burnt bits in the pan (see picture).
If you make a double or triple batch, you may use a strainer to remove the brown bits faster.
You may use silicon moulds or paper cups. You may use a spoon to drop the mixture, or your hands to roll balls, or a small ice cream scoop.
Let them cool.
Ready !
These are definitely better eaten soft, but they are a bit sticky at room temperature. Keep them in the fridge.
