Not only are these great for Valentine’s Day, they are a great summer treat!

The flavor of this is good, not really sweet. My DH doesn't particularly like them because of the non-sweetness. Me, I do. I did have to let the fudge sit in the fridge overnight before rolling them into a ball, however. I did try to make them after an hour, but it was still too "wet" to roll very well.
