I tried this today and then found this recipe. I doubled it and used half milk chocolate and half semi sweet chocolate. I rolled them in pecans because that is what I had and these are awesome. They are super easy to make and taste like you spent hours making them. Perfect!!

I'm not giving this any stars as I have not tried this recipe. The copy of this recipe I have calls for a 11 1/2oz pkg (2 cups) milk chocolate morsels. The rest is the same. Thanks for posting a good sounding recipe. Christine (internetnut)

I just finished making these to give as Christmas gifts to neighbors. I only had pecan nuts, and I used those without toasting them. Also, I used semi-sweet chocolate chips and vanilla extract and they were still delicious. Very easy to make!
