    These taste great, melt in your mouth. I put solid hershey kisses in the center to change it up and those tasted awesome as well. Next time I will find the caramel filled ones for variety.

    I make these every year. I add red and green colored sugar to the powdered sugar for rolling. Makes them look even more festive.
