very easy and great for a christmas party! I found out you won't be able to shape it into round balls if you don't chill for at least 3 to 4 hours.

I made this for my Christmas party this year and I had no complaints. In fact, I recieved calls afterward from a couple of people asking for the recipe. It was fun and easy.
