Mocha Pecan Truffles

I made this recipe over the holidays and it went over really well.  I think these would be perfect for a Valentine's Day treat too.  They're simple to make, only requires a few ingredients and in a matter of minutes you'll have delicious Mocha Pecan Truffles.  They start with crushed cookies, and you add in a little powdered sugar, chopped pecans, cocoa, coffee, and some milk.  Take little dollops of the mixture, toss them in some cocoa or powdered sugar and you're good to go.  If you need a simple and delicious treat to make for your loved ones then be sure to try this!
