These are so simple to make and so incredibly yummy... I was going to take them to a party, but....we ate too many. My son loved them, too! You could do a whole bunch of different combinations with this. Thank you for posting!

Ill surely make it again! Made and reviewed for Everyday Is A Holiday Tag Game Decembre 09 as a special tag.

I'm using almond rather than walnuts, and they're wonderful! I decided try my hand at making chocolates for xmas presents, and these are perfect! I'm making 3 different chocolate treats and whenever I have leftover chocolate I throw and handful of almonds and cranberries in and whip up 2-3 more drops. No more waist! Now if I can refrain from eating them all before xmas comes....

These are just about the fastest chocolate recipe yet. In 1/2 hour I had made 2 batches and had them cooling on the deck. Before packing them away for Christmas presents....I tried one. They are absolutely wonderful. I know my family will really enjoy them. Thank you for sharing!

Fantastic! I used cashews and made these for a gift, however I couldn't, for the life of me, find any teaspoons so I was forced to make these in tablespoon size ;)... (I only ate one and have a bit of a stomach ache though) I grabbed semi-sweet chocolate instead of bitter-sweet but they are still wonderful. If made with dark chocolate, I know they would be perfection! (Next time!!) Thanks for posting this simple yet fabulous recipe!
