Yes it is the same. You only need an inch of it so a pkg. goes a long way. I can't tell you how long i've had mine- I share with my kids when they make Buckeyes, too.
they are a bit tedious to make. i use a little scoop to portion them out them round them up into balls by hand. Put them in the freezer while will make them easier to dip. Only take a small number out at a time. once they start warming up they will fall off the toothpick if you are using that to dip them. If you don't want them to look like buckeyes you can use a dipping tool and cover the whole thing.
