This recipe is delicious, and it worked perfectly. My changes - being lazy, I made bigger balls and got about 75. I rolled mine in finely chopped walnuts. I also forgot to put in the vanilla, even though it was out on the counter with the measuring spoon, in readiness. Nonetheless, they're fantastic. I wouldn't change a thing.
