Toast pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until fragrant; cool and chop finely.
In a bowl, mix condensed milk, flour, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in pecans.
Cover and chill mixture 30–45 minutes until firm enough to scoop.
Line a baking sheet with parchment. Scoop mixture (about 1 tbsp), roll into balls, and place on sheet. Freeze 15–20 minutes.
Melt candy melts in microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip chilled balls in chocolate, let excess drip off, and place back on parchment.
Let set at room temperature until firm, or chill 10–15 minutes before storing or serving.

Swap dark chocolate for milk or white chocolate melts for a different flavor.

Add 1–2 tsp bourbon for a boozy twist (increase flour slightly).

Roll freshly dipped candies in chopped pecans or sprinkle with flaky sea salt for extra texture.
