2 c. pecans, chopped
1 pkg. chocolate chips
1 block paraffin

Directions:

Blend butter and powdered sugar first. Add milk, pecans, flavoring, and coconut. Roll in small balls and put in refrigerator for about 1 hour. Melt chocolate chips and paraffin in double boiler. Stick a toothpick in cold balls and dip in melted chocolate. Cool on waxed paper.
