These are awesome.. it makes 12 . I'm going to try them with a variety of "fillings".. like maybe Reeses mini peanut butter cups.. or white choc chips and macadamia nut bits. or maybe choc chips and coconut.. yummie!! enjoy

TFquilter

Sounds wonderful...will have to try!

Tippy

Actually I just made them for the first time.. just got the recipe from a Taste of Home magazine.. oops.. guess I should have credited them.. it was in the Weekend magazine that is on the stands now. It was from a reader named Sue Smith in Joaquin, Texas. But I can see changing this up and making them often.. I'm going to try them with white chocolate chips and macadamia nut bits. Also thinking about using mini peanut butter cups in the middle. I did use the mini chips instead of regular ones and I really liked that.
