    These were very well received by both children and adults. I made one batch (about 25 portions and by the end of the afternoon, there were only four left for somone to take home. When talking with the family, we all agreed that rasins or some other fruit may even make them better. Thanks Paula!

    These are downright addictive! They're so easy and I refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm them up and then take them out before they get too hard. The recipe makes a good amount, too, and I freeze about half of them for another day.
