This is a nice recipe to make and have on hand for holiday time. These treats store well, and they look and taste great. I used pecans instead of walnuts since that's what I had on hand.

Just made these with my youngest. They turned out well, though we used pecans instead of walnuts. Very fudgy! I a not a huge chocolate fan but all my boys seem to enjoy them. So a winner here.

My My! These are sooo easy and delicious. Gave some to friends on cookie gift plates...it was fun to watch them looked shocked when I told them they were "no bake"!

These are very good; should the conf. sugar been sifted? I had a bowl of chocolate powder. The only way a ball could be formed was with warmth of my hands and unable to roll them round and round to make a smooth ball.
