    Sealed with a kiss!

    sharon wilson from TROY, NY

    These were very easy and really a big hit. I didn't have the Nestle Hearts on hand so I substituted kisses instead. They went so fast, next time I will double the recipe!!!

    AWESOME

    Melonie L from Iowa

    We served these at my sons birthday and they were a huge hit. My son is a huge coconut fan. While I was getting the rest of the food ready my 10 and 13 year old daughters made the cookies pretty much by themselves. It was easy and fun for them. We will be making these again for Easter. LOVE THEM

    Orange-Scented Chocolate Heart Macaroons

    Jeanne Whitmore-Tanking from Burlington, WI

    These were very easy to make and combine quite a few different wonderful flavors together. I used a chocolate kiss in the middle in place of the hearts; that are not to be found this time of the year. After you put the chocolate kiss in the middle of the warm cookies and let it melt for a bit, I then pushed the tip into the melted chocolate. These will be a big hit every Christmas time. Thank you! :)

    AMAZING cookies!

    Ms. Blaschuk from FARMINGDALE, NY

    Coconut, cream cheese, NESTLES CRUNCH and orange peel. Four of my favorite ingredients and they surprisingly are great together. What's not to like? These were AMAZING! I could not find NESTLE CRUNCH hearts at this time of year, so I use NESTLE CRUNCH bars - broken into pieces. They worked wonderfully well. I do not know who polished off more cookies, my grandson or me.

    Great Tasting !!!

    Linda Randles from NORTH CANTON, OH

    These was a big hit with my family. I tryed it out on them first. Since they're all gone I'll have to make another batch for our Christmas dinner.
