I make mine a little differently and thought you might like to try- next year- a different recipe.
1st night 2 c chopped pecans add to 2/3 c rum
2nd night 1 stick warm butter and 2 boxes powdered sugar- mix with rum and pecans
3rd night shape into balls -let sit over night
4th night cover in chocolate and enjoy
These get better with age and even the non drinkers seem to love these.

ooooooh – wow. Those look deadly delicious – and a cookie that starts with a different cookie has a wonderful zen quality to it . Thanks so much for suggesting this project – it’s been a ton of fun!

I was going to make these but I had a hard time finding chocolate wafers (duh…oreos with the creme scraped out!!!). I do want to know what you did with all that yummy filling. I thought these looked to be real good. Did you really wait a week?

This is a great recipe, what can I use as an alternative to molasses, I have tried to look for it but just cannot seem to find it. When you look at them they look like plain truffles but after reading the recipe they sound great. I suppose if it is that tricky to roll them then maybe just cutting squares should be good enough.

I do love these. At work the ones they make for holiday parties are lethal.
