Toast pecans in oven @ 350 degree. cool and rough cut.

Roll into balls about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter and roll in cocoa powder or powdered sugar to coat the outside. Store in an airtight container for at least one week, and up to three weeks.

You should be able to make 2.5 dozen balls. I seem to always make more. This batch I made 61, mine must be just a bit smaller than 1 inch.
