Thank you so much! 🥰💛 And if you make the balls any smaller than what I did, you will need even more.

I can tell these are delicious by your reaction!! They must be delicious 😋 They look scrumptious 😊I like the wall behind you. It reminds me of another wall in my kitchen. I have my candy thermometer hanging too!! And other kitchen stuff. Maybe I’ll film that part. Looks great in this video, a nice switch 🥰👍

These are absolutely full of pecan flavor and the chocolate puts them over the top. If you love pecans you must make these.

You are so right! Thank you! 🥰💛

Did you allow the butter/brown sugar mixture to come to a rolling boil? Or how long and what temperature did you cook it for!!?? 😋

[@cuisinedemichelle]

No need to boil, just cook long enough to make it liquid-y (to avoid the brown sugar giving a grainy texture). Cooked on medium, I believe. I think boiling it risks it getting too hard. Thanks for watching and happy holidays!
