Ingredients

1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon rum or rum extract
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Instructions

Measure all of the ingredients except the milk chocolate chips into a mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients together until well combined.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for a minimum of 2 hours. (Mixture can be refrigerated overnight or up to 48 hours.)
Portion the filling into slightly heaping tablespoons and roll into balls. Place the balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place the milk chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl. On medium power, microwave the chocolate for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Continue to microwave in 15 second increments on half powder until chocolate is smooth. Stir between each increment.
Working with one ball at a time, dunk them into the chocolate so that the entire truffle is enrobed. Carefully lift the truffle out of the chocolate with a fork and slightly tap the handle of the fork on the rim of the bowl. The excess chocolate will fall back into the bowl.
Transfer the truffles to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Top the truffles with more finely chopped pecans, if desired.
Place the entire baking sheet in your fridge to firm up the chocolate. Leave them for at least 1 hour. Once firm, the truffles can be transferred to a food-safe container or packaged. Keep the truffles refrigerated.
