"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Ingredients:  
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda. Mix well. In large bowl, beat the sugars and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; beat well. Add flour mixture; blend well. Stir in 1/2 cups pecans. For each cookie, with floured hands, shape about 1 tablespoonful of dough around a Rolo, covering completely. In small bowl, combine rest of pecans and 1 tablespoonful sugar. Press one side of each ball in pecan/sugar mixture. Place nut side up on ungreased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake 7-10 minutes or until set and slightly cracked. Cool on cookie sheet 2 minutes, then remove and cool completely on wire racks.

Note-1 package of rolo candies has 48 in it. I buy 2 packages to allow for some being eaten during the baking process and because I can get more than 4 dozen cookies out of the dough.

Personal Notes:
Rolos were created in England by John Mackintosh. Simply a combination of caramel and a chocolate coating, it was first sold in 1937. In 1956, The England Confectionary Company acquired a license to produce rolos in the United states.
