Delicous! I couldn't stop eating it! I probably used about 1 cup of mini-chocolate chips. I did not use nuts. I served with Honey Teddy Grahams and Bee-shaped Honey Graham Crackers. I love this size because dipping is so easy and the crackers don't break. Thanks for the idea of forming the ball while the mixture is in plastic wrap. Worked perfectly! -
Excellent recipe -the amounts are PERFECT. Thanks for posting this, I plan to use it for a long time! -
Made this for thanksgiving lunch and everybody liked it! Thanks for something different and delicious. -
Amazing! I brought it in to work and it was gone before break was over. After mixing, I rolled the ball into chocolate covered toffee bits instead of the pecans. Served with graham cracker sticks.

There are only 3 of us, so I cut the recipe in half. Easy to make, but I didn't realize how miuch chill time there was when I started this, so I had to refrigerate it overnight and serve it the next day instead. It was good on honey graham crackers and great on cinnamon graham crackers. Thanks for sharing.
