Mmmm definitely looked pretty, tasted right nice too! Made them as part of a 'goodie' platter to take to a friends place. Lots of comments.

They tasted great, but fell apart in my hands. They ended up very wet and would not stay in balls. I will try this again though soon and let you know how they came out!
