I have made these several times and they are wonderful. I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate

I made the recipes exactly like it said but when I took the baking sheets out of the freezer and went to dip the candy in chocolate, every one of them was completely stuck to the waxed paper. I don't know how anyone can make these the way the recipe says.

I have been making these for years now and I love them. Sometimes, I use peanuts in place of pecans, a great holiday treat. Also easy to whip up!
