Doubled the recipe and made this for my niece for her birthday celebration. I didn't roll it in a ball, I just packed it into a container and refrigerated it. Served with cinnamon graham crackers and chocolate graham crackers and everyone loved it! Gave the recipe to my niece so she can make it for her friends. Definitely a keeper! -
My co-worker made this exact recipe yesterday for our work luncheon- it was SO GOOD! Didn't add the pecans though. I bought the stuff to make it last night, and it's in the fridge right now....ha! Can't wait! -
This was really quite sinful. I served this at my Christmas Eve party with honey graham sticks and everyone really liked it. I couldn't find mini chocolate chips at the store so I just used regular sized chips. I'll definitely be making this again. Thanks for posting! -
First got this from Taste of Home. I have made this many times. It's always well recieved at parties, showers and christmas open house also. My daughter ask for this for her sleepovers too! We usually add more brown sugar--taste kinda like cookie dough that way! -
My family LOVES this recipe. We snack on this atleast once a week. We like this with our movie instead of popcorn!
