Tasted great. I made these with my granddaughter for her bake sale at school. The only thing we did different is to add 1 1/2 TBS of Crisco to the dipping chocolate -
Wow! These were super simple to put together and really great! I should have heeded your advice and tripled the cookies...I made them for Christmas and the kids have eaten them all already! Will be making more today and hiding them. Thanks for a great cookie/candy recipe! Will make again and again!
