These were pretty good. I thought the directions were vague in the idea of wrapping around "small candies". What KIND of candy? There are only thousands of different kinds. So I made this recipe, but instead of putting candies in the middle, I added Holiday M&Ms to the mixture after it had cooled a bit, then formed it into balls.

These are a wonderful treat. My kids have brought these to school for treats. I have made them many times. Tonight I made them with chocolate cheerios and they tasted the best of all the batches I've made!
