Chill mixture 3 hours or until firm enough to roll into 2 dozen balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. If mixture softens too much during rolling, return to refrigerator until firm.
Roll balls in chopped pecans and store in refrigerator up to 2 days before serving. Garnish as desired. Serve with crackers.
