Toast pecans in toaster oven for 5 minutes; once cooled, chop them up
Combine all ingredients besides chocolate and sea salt into a large bowl and mix well to combine- if the mix is too dry, you may need more liquid- add a tbsp at a time of syrup
Refrigerate for 30 minutes
With a 1 inch cookie scoop, scoop up the mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
To make them into uniformed balls, drizzle coconut oil on hands so the dough doesn’t stick to your hands
Refrigerate an additional hour
Melt the chocolate when there is 15 minutes left on your timer
Remove the balls from the fridge and coat each one in the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment paper
Sprinkle with flakey sea salt and allow the chocolate to harden (you may need to return to the fridge for 15 minutes)
