Tastes great but can't get the mix stiff enough to roll up into balls. I keep adding more and more powdered sugar. Finally put the whole bowl in the fridge to see if it will firm up enough to work with. I used 6 cups of powdered sugar and it still won't hold a shape. I'm totally stoked for this candy so I'm going to keep working with it.

These are SOOO good. I am making another batch this weekend. I added a little more orange extract- probably closer to 2 tsp. I also made my own sweetened condensed milk which I would not recommend- I could taste the powdered milk at times. I also had to reheat the chocolate a few times as it set up a little durign the long dipping process. I may try using a double boiler when making them again. A bit time consuming but definitely worth the effort.

These are great. Someone said that the sugar mixture was too thin. Just be sure to use sweetened condensed milk, not evaporated. They both come in cans but are two different things. Also be sure that you are using enough confectioners sugar (powdered sugar). The recipe called for one package but stipulated 2 pounds. The little boxes of powdered sugar are only 1 pound so you'd need two of those. Around here, the 2 pound package of powdered sugar is a plastic bag, not a box.

I made this recipe for Christmas. It didn't work out for me. The cream part did not roll up into a ball and was more sugary than cream. I think that it should have been cooked longer with the sugar, unless I read the instructions wrong. Perhaps, I used the wrong sugar. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. I have never made candy before.

It is a wonderful recipe and easy too. Just wondering how others dipped the candies into the chocolate and not make marks on the candy. Any helpful ideas would be appreciated.

I made these at Christmas for presents for some of my friends and they loved them. The candies were wonderful.
