"I love to entertain and try new recipes, so I couldn't wait to make these chocolaty confections for the holidays," relates Joy Neustel of Jamestown, North Dakota. "They're smooth, rich and so pretty topped with pecans. No one will ever guess how easy they are to make."

These are amazing! I switched out peppermint extract for the almond and added crushed candycanes on top instead of nuts...my hubby loved them! I will make tons of these as holiday cookie plate fill-ins! A definite must have recipe...
