Patty stores these in the refrigerator rather than the freezer because the color of the chocolate can change.

When I was in college and no idea how to cook, I made these often for parties. It is a great, simple recipe that you can't mess up (as long as you use wax paper). I've never used the vanilla candy coating and they are still great. My mom brought these to a neighborhood party and they were a hit as well. Highly recommended.
