Print Recipe

Delightful treats that combine the richness of pecans with a satisfying crunch, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3–4 tablespoons milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a very large heatproof bowl, combine the old-fashioned rolled oats, crispy rice cereal, and chopped pecans.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and 1/4 cup milk. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for exactly 1 minute.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and pour the hot mixture over the oat mixture. Stir until well coated.
  5. Using a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into mounds.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
  7. To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
  8. Once firm, drizzle or spoon the glaze over each bite and let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

These bites store well in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
