Ingredients

2 (7.0 oz) Hershey's® milk chocolate candy bars
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
4 candy canes, finely crushed (about 1/3 cup)

Instructions

Step
1

Break the milk chocolate candy bars into pieces and place into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until melted, stirring in between. Let cool until just slightly warm.
Step
2

While chocolate is cooling, chop pecans and crush the candy canes. An easy way to crush the candy canes is by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them. Place chopped pecans and crushed candy canes on a plate and toss so they are incorporated. Set aside.
Step
3

Place thawed whipped topping in a medium bowl and fold in chocolate gently. Mixture will be soft. Place back in the refrigerator to set up for 5-10 minutes if too soft.
Step
4

Using a cookie scooper, scoop a walnut sized portion of the chocolate/whipped cream mixture and place it on the nut and candy cane mixture. Roll it around until it's fully coated. Place on a plate. Repeat with the remainder of the mixture. Place balls in the refrigerator (or freezer) until ready to serve.
