So good! My 6 year old said "give it 5 stars Mom", they are delicious & pretty easy to make. I omitted the instant coffee, since I didn't have any & it was delicious that way. But next time I will buy it because you can't go wrong with coffee & chocolate!<br/>Made for Spring PAC 2013.

Tastes just like the Fudge Jumbles Mom made from a box when I was a kid!
