 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      cup           sweet butter
    1      teaspoon      vanilla
      3/4  cup           brown sugar
      1/4  teaspoon      salt
    2 1/2  cups          flour
    6      ounces        semisweet chocolate pieces -- melted
    1      teaspoon      cocoa
    1      teaspoon      instant coffee
    1      cup           finely chopped pecans
 
 Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Grease cookie sheets.  Cream butter and
 brown sugar. Add the sifted flour, cocoa, instant coffee, vanilla and
 salt.  Mix well.  Roll into 4 long rolls about 1 inch in diameter.  Cut
 into 3/4 inch sections and roll each into a ball.  With fingertips, press
 each ball slightly onto the cookie sheet to make a flat base and pinch
 the top to make a point (balls shouldn't be more than 3/4 inch in
 diameter.) Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.  While warm, dip the wide end of
 the balls into chocolate and roll in the pecans.  Place in paper candy cups.
