When I lived in Gaithersburg, Md, a friend of mine made these wonderful candies for Easter, and shared the recipe. They are very good! She always let her children help with the rolling into shapes, so it is also fun to make!

    Made 4-1-21 for Easter. Cocoa and coconut flavors, since my niece doesn't like peanut butter. Each batch made between 36-40. I used a soup spoon from my kitchen silverware drawer to make the shapes. Note: if using peanut butter, you will definitely need more powdered sugar. LOL
