Would make this again.
My mother made these all the time when we were growing up - she is now 76 - and she used to put a marachino cherry in the middle of half of the batch. Then she used to dip in the chocolate chips but used wax instead of the Crisco. Must have been cheaper!! She also used toothpicks to dip with instead of a fork. I haven't made them in a long time but they are on my list to make for neighbors. five stars

This is a lot better if you use 14 oz of cococut and get rid or the confectioners sugar. I have been making these this way for years and I got it from my exhusbands grandmother. I don't think that a 70 year old lady would steer in wrong. Try it this way. three stars
