  1. I never knew they were considered weedding cookies. well why not. I got this recipe with chocolate chips added from my mother in law in 1977 and have made them every year for Christmas. The recipe was called choco nut balls. Very yummy. My sister in law makes them with splenda cause she is diabetic. They are also great!

  2. My son and I saw this recipe and needed to make it right away. We didn’t have any pecans in the house so we used mini chocolate chips instead. They were so amazingly good. Can’t wait to try them with pecans next time!
