I made this and took it to several holiday functions. Everyone liked it and many people asked for the recipe. I think I'm going to have to make it every Christmas from now on. I put it in an 8x8 pan to let cool, but it was a little flaky to cut, so the bonbon cups (as suggested) is probably better. It is very sweet, but yummy.
