Here is a great recipe but you might better make them today because you will want more before Christmas!

Snowballs

1 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups sifted flour
1 cup finely chopped pecans
About 1 pound Hershey Kisses
Powdered sugar

Cream butter, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add flour. Add nuts. Chill.

Use a teaspoon and scoop about 1 teaspoon of dough and put it around one piece of chocolate. Roll it in both hands but try not to let it get soft.

When they are all done put them in the freezer until they are frozen. Even a few days is okay.

Put frozen balls on a cookie sheet (separating them in rows).

Bake for about 12 minutes - until set but not brown.

Let them cool and sprinkle/roll them in powdered sugar. You may need to add a little more sugar before serving if you save them in a tin.

Hint -- Be aware that if you do not freeze them completely before baking they will come out looking like nipples and not the cute little snowballs we strive for.
