These pecan balls are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still just as delicious.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of pecans, but I'm so glad I did! These pecan balls are amazing. They're so rich and decadent, and the chocolate coating is the perfect touch.
