Oh man, I hate to be the one to say something negative....overall I do give these 5 stars for flavour, ease, and visual appeal, however I am disappointed because I made 3 batches to freeze and give away as gifts, but I didn't find these treats have any portability, so I can't use them. Mainly, the caramel kisses and white chocolate kisses melted okay, but they never hardened again, which means when I tried to package them up they turned into a gooey (delicious) mess. The almond kisses just never melted enough to "squish" for some reason, so I couldn't put candies on top. These tasted great and would be perfect for if you want to make them and serve them in the same evening, however for packaging up as gifts they did not work for me. Still a super-fun kids recipe though :-) I will make them again with my girls.

I found with the Hugs I had to bake them at 170 for 6 to 7 minutes. During the Holidays these work really well with the pretzel rings. I also tried a batch with the caramel kisses and pecan halves. Those worked ok at 170 for 4 minutes. Other recipes I have seen use 350 degree oven at 4 minutes for the Hugs.

<p>I firmly believe everything tastes better when you had nothing to do with the preparation or clean up. <br /><br />I used to have a few favorite cookbooks, but this site has easily replaced them....I love the ease of searching for exactly what I need and the feature of seeing what others have rated the particular recipe. <br /><br />I'm a mother to 2 kids. I stay at home and provide childcare so I can be with them during the day. <br /><br />For fun I enjoy reading, shopping & movies, as well as getting together with friends & family for games & cards. LOVE to travel when the $ is available. BIG into Jimmy Buffett.</p>
