Rich. Buttery. Deeply satisfying—this is dessert, perfected for real life. Born from Depression-era ingenuity and perfected in Midwest kitchens, this recipe turns humble pecans into edible gold. The graham crumbs add a whisper of campfire smoke; the maple syrup deepens the brown sugar’s warmth; the rum extract (just a drop!) lifts it all like a sigh. And that chocolate shell? It melts on your tongue like a promise. Best of all? It’s ready in 15 minutes of hands-on time—while you hum hymns and set out coffee for unexpected guests.
✨ Best of all? Naturally make-ahead, freezer-friendly, and always the first to vanish at potlucks.
“Roll, dip, and share grace in a bite.”
