These are fun and delicious. My mother used to make these for parties and at Xmas and we would sneak them from the kitchen because there never would be any left over for us to snack on the next day. As I recall they freeze well also. — Bluemonkey Oct 18, 2008

Posted by Lennie  

I have Jean Pare's book with this in. I give it 4/5 because I'm not fond of the walnuts combined with the peanut butter. Try candied/honey roasted peanuts as a substitute. Yummy — Bluemonkey Oct 17, 2008
