  1. We make those in holiday colors most years, and they’re definitely 100% addictive. Very cute for Valentine’s Day too! Thanks so much for sharing at the #happynowlinkup!

  2. These are so easy & hit that sweet & salty urge, thanks for the idea, & it would be so easy for children to help with (if I had any small children anymore… I sure do miss that time. Young mothers take heed – never wish for time to pass more quickly, only enjoy each moment as it comes because too soon they are grown & gone).
    I found you through the Happiness is Homemade bloghop; I hope you’ll take some time to visit the 4Shoes & leave me a msg so that I know you’ve been by!

    1. Yes, my children love to help make these! I can sure empathize with young children growing up—my oldest 3 are teenagers, and my oldest graduates this year! The time sure has flown. Thanks so much for stopping by!

    1. I’ve never tried them with the milk chocolate (we should try that sometime!)! 🙂 So glad you stopped by, Lillian!
