These candies are fast and easy, but they look and taste like you did a lot of work. Make as many-or as few -as you want. They're great alongside other desserts for guests who want only a bite of something sweet. -Julie Wemhoff Angola, Indiana

They are so easy to make. I used Christmas (red & green) peanut M&Ms and they were a big hit.

This candy is not only very tasty, but extremely easy to make. I made over 100 in less than 30 minutes. Great for a quick snack.

I started out making 1 batch of these for Xmas 2 years ago..then I had to make a second batch because they didn't make it to Xmas eve! These make a great little gift for any occasion or party. I place them in a nice container along with the recipe-because I know they disappear fast & everyone asks for the recipe. I have turned so many people onto these little gems. They are easy, fast to make and are perfectly crunchy, sweet, salty & gooey. To change them up I've used walnuts & festive colored M&M's..but they are perfect the way they are...thanks Taste of Home & Julie for another winner!

These are wonderful! An added drizzle of chocolate makes them pretty.

I've been making these for years, so easy and tasty. The only "must" for my husband at Christmas time are these little treats. Yes, my kids love to unwrap the Rolo's too!

This is on my Christmas Candy list every year now for the past 5 years. They go fast because they are kind of addicting with sweet, crunchy and salty all in one. And they are so very easy to make!

These taste great and look so fancy! The kids are thrilled to open the wrappers for you. :)

The "hardest" part was not getting frustrated while opening all those little candies.

I am yet to make these... but a friend made them for us for Christmas last year. They are unbelievably good! I could not stop eating them! Will definitely have to make them this year!
