I followed recipe with the ingredients as given! But I used a double boiler to make these candies! What an easy and delicious treat! I used teaspoons, rather than a Tablespoon to drop the mixture on the baking sheets! delowenstein, Volunteer Field Editor

Wow! Is a good way to start this review. These are fabulous and so very easy to make. My family eats them as quickly as they harden up. Such an easy party snack. Don't think you will be disappointed in these.
