I wanted to make the kids a treat while they enjoyed our first snowfall of the season. These are extremely quick and I love how it uses ingredients I always have on hand. They were really good when we ate them about 30 minutes after making them but a few hours later, they were as hard as rocks. :( I think maybe cutting back on the boiling time, or even omitting it, might help. I added some Christmas sprinkles to the top to give them a festive air. :) Thanks for sharing!
