Ingredients:

Serving

72 pecan halves (about 1-3/4 cups)
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

On waxed paper-lined pans, arrange pecan halves in clusters of three.
In a small bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until blended; gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. In a microwave, melt candy coating and shortening; stir until smooth.
Spoon 1/4 teaspoon melted chocolate into the center of each pecan cluster. Place teaspoonfuls of peanut butter mixture in the center of each cluster; press down slightly. Spoon remaining melted chocolate over tops. Chill for 10 minutes or until set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
