Pecan Puffs

Pecan puffs scream Christmas to me.  It is the only time of year that I make them because if I made them more, I would be 300 lbs.  They are delicious!  Sometimes, I change it up a bit and make this recipe using almonds instead of pecans.  Also delicious.  Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
