Gramma Cookie’s Mini Snowballs (Pecan Balls)

My Gramma wears patchouli and has double-pierced ears, but is SUPER old-fashioned in food. This is from her. Happy Holidays!

Here goes sweety! They are simple to make. Love you lots. Got lights up outside and inside, tree and decorations up. Keep in touch. Love and hugs,

—Grammie
