    These were delicious and so easy to make – I made all sorts of homemade candies for my husbands employees at Christmas and these were a HUGE hit – they look much more difficult to make than they actually were – very simple in fact. I got so much praise for being such a gourmet (chuckle) partly because of this recipe! Thank you for sharing this recipe because, I agree, recipes are meant to be shared!

    This recipe RULES!! I LOVE IT. My Grandma showed it to me when I was young. Now I have a Bakery business that sells desserts to the Italian Restaurant next door, and these are SO going on both menu's… My favourite way to have chocolate for sure! OM NOM NOM 🙂 🙂 Thanks for making the (right) recipe so searchable! ❤ from Canada
