Hi, I don not know what went wrong, maybe it was my mistake, but the micture became little bit lumpy, like grains of sand, dark brown and smelled like it was burned. And really sticky, more like bases of caramel!!! Did not work!

These are fabulous! Julie is my sister who came down from Canada to teach me how to make chocolates. We had so much making these. I'm sure they would be equally delicious with chopped toasted almonds or pecans. Making them will be an important part of Christmas for years to come!
