The mocha pecan balls were a bit dry. I think I would add a little bit of milk or cream to the batter next time.

These mocha pecan balls are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably cut the sugar in half next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coffee, but I still really enjoyed these mocha pecan balls. The chocolate and pecans were a great combination.

These mocha pecan balls are a great way to use up leftover coffee. I always have a few cups of coffee left over in the morning and this is a great way to use it up.

These are a great make-ahead treat. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still delicious.

These mocha pecan balls are the perfect sweet treat. They're rich, chocolatey, and have just the right amount of crunch from the pecans.
