A recipe I got from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook, contributed by Cheri Emery, using a cake mix. :) I also added a rolo inside each so when you bite into them you get caramel too. It's important the dough is completely covering the rolo or it will seep out.
Ingredients:
18 1/2 ounces fudge cake mix
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons oil
2 eggs
1/2 lb pecan halves
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons baking cocoa
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Directions:
1. Combine dry cake mix, water, oil and eggs, mixing well and set aside.
2. Arrange pecans in clusters of 3 on greased baking sheets.
3. Shape dough into 1 inch balls.
4. Center each on a cluster of pecans and flatten slightly.
5. Bake 8-10 minutes at 375*.
6. Cool and frost.
7. FROSTING: Sift powdered sugar and cocoa, set aside. Cream butter and vanilla, then add the powdered sugar mixture and milk alternately until desired consistency.
