    I make this recipe with Creme Savers, instead of Lifesavers, and that makes a huge difference. They are oooh so good!

    These cookies are very difficult to make and require lots of prep time. Once done they weren't very attractive and the taste was very blah. For all the hard work you are expecting a very tasting cookie. Not So!! Too much work for a cookie that is very bland. The dough is very hard to work with and it MUST be chilled. Once cut you must chill again because they melt very fast. The center candy taste awful and dosen't compliment the cookie.

    I made these cookies to put in Christmas gift baskets and they turned out great! The cookie itself is delicious. I made them with jolly ranchers and just omitted the watermellon flavor. I thought they tasted great. I had read previous reviews about how hard the dough was to work with, but I just chilled it overnight and, with using generous amounts of flour, I had no problem working with it. After about 3 rollings, I accumulated the scrap dough all together and chilled it again before re-working it. Also, when I was near the end of my dough, I used the mini cutters I had used to create the centers (X-mas tree, candy cane, etc and cut out mini cookies and topped them with a little bit of the crushed candy for color and added those to the baskets as well. They were adorable. I will definitely make these again!

    I didn't have any trouble making these cookies at all. They came out great! Be sure to use parchment paper for this recipe. This is a good one for the kids to help with too. I have four year old twin girls, and they love helping in the kitchen.

    After seeing the show, my daughter and I attempted to make these thinking they were going to be the highlight of our cookie baking. It was very labor intensive, didn't look or taste good. We ended up throwing them in the trash and made the more traditional cookies instead.

    These cookies do present well. However, with the candy centers they taste terrible. I tried different varieties in an attempt to make them edible (lifesavers, jolly ranchers, creme saversbut it didn't work. The creme savers tasted the best (still not good but didn't look as pretty melted. I wouldn't make these again.

    I've had so many people ask for the recipe when I've fixed it for a party...they love it. I don't even like potato salad and I love it...

    unfortunately, these did not seem to be worth the effort to make. they did not come out looking as good as the photos, the dough was difficult to work with and the candies made a mess and did not melt well. they also were not very tasty! i would not waste the time again on these.
