To make Maple Glazed Pecan Praline Drops, you will need the following ingredients:

This recipe makes about 24 drops.
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread the chopped pecans on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, heavy cream, and butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil.

Add the toasted pecans to the saucepan and stir until they are coated in the maple glaze. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then stir in the powdered sugar until well combined.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the drops cool and set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
