The first time I made these for a bake sale, I doubled the recipe and they sold out. Now I make 4-5 batches and they still sell out. These little sweets have gone a long way to helpping my daughter's class pay for prom.

They dip better if the dough is refrigerated before dipping in chocolate.

These little delectables are expected every Christmas from my family. Everybody loves them!
