    This recipe had a nice flavour, but the texture of the balls left a lot to be desired. They were quite "mushy" and did not form into firm balls.

    loved the recipe. I let the kids make the balls and of course they forgot the marshmellows half the time. I also made some with pineapple in the middle and pecans. great!
