I made this a while ago, but wasn't really happy with it. Probably just me though, since the kids loved it and the one I gave as a gift went over very well. I think I just expected something closer to what the candy tastes like. Thanks!

These cookies were delicious! I used milk chocolate because I think that the candy is made with it. As with every new cookie recipe, I sampled one. I had to use some self-restraint to keep the sample at only one. Thank you for this recipe!

These were easy to make although because I used my cookie sheet, I had to make extra dough. No problem - more to enjoy! If you use a cookie sheet (which is about 11 x 17) make sure you cut down on the cooking time.

This will be on a whole lot of Christmas trays this year. Much better than those store bought things. I loved it. Thanks.
