I'm not sure what went wrong, but my butter balls turned out really crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I had trouble getting the butter balls to hold their shape. I think I needed to chill them for longer before rolling them.

These butter balls are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but I still enjoyed these butter balls. The chocolate flavor is really strong and the pecans add a nice touch of sweetness.

These butter balls are a great way to use up leftover coffee. I always have a few tablespoons of cold coffee left over in the morning and this is the perfect way to use it up.
