1 c. brown sugar
1 c. butter, softened

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F.

Unwrap the Rollos; perfect for a little helper. Cream sugar,
brown sugar, butter, vanilla, eggs. Add flour, cocoa, baking
powder; blend well. Stir in 1/2 c. pecans. Dough will be sticky;
if too sticky to handle, add 1 Tbsp of flour, no more. On a
plate, mix remaining pecans and about a Tbsp. of sugar.
Flour hands. Flatten 1 Tbsp. of dough in your hand and wrap
around a Rollo candy, covering it completely. Roll a little to
make round, and press top in pecan mixture. Place on cookie
sheet nut side up, 2 inches apart. Bake 7-10 minutes, until
only slightly cracked. Cool 2 minutes before removing from
cookie sheet.

If done properly, your hands will be covered in chocolate. Make

around your kitchen!
