Hippo Heads

this is grandma's recipe. I don't remember what it was originally, but this is what my young son called them.

6 oz chocolate chips
1/2 c Coke
3 T karo syrup
1 T rum flavoring
2 1/2 c graham cracker crumbs
1 c finely chopped pecans
2 c confectioners sugar-sifted
Chocolate Jimmies or toasted chopped pecans

Melt chocolate in a double boiler-remove and blend in Coke, karo, and flavoring. Stir in crumbs, sugar and nuts. Mix well (this will be sticky). Cover and chill 2 hours. Form into small balls using a small melon baller. Roll in Jimmies-put on a pan. Cover and chill overnight.
