Microwave Truffles

By: Joy Neustel

"'I love to entertain and try new recipes, so I couldn't wait to make these chocolaty confections for the holidays,' relates Joy Neustel of Jamestown, North Dakota. 'They're smooth, rich and so pretty topped with pecans. No one will ever guess how easy they are to make.'"

Ingredients

1/3 cup finely chopped pecans, toasted, divided
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/4 cup butter (no substitutes)
