This is a go to recipe for BBQs or large gatherings. It makes a lot and with the holiday m&ms they can look very festive. So easy to make but look like you spent a lot of time in the kitchen<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"05\/09\/2010 18:50","GUID":"be8566d8e7cd43c688b0dafdc7f4b056","MemberId":1254652,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"kamydawn","SubmittedDate":"05\/09\/2010 18:50"},{"Comment":"

I couldn't find the coating thing, so I didn't use it. But even so, it was SO good. I live in a house adults, and they acted like kids in a candy store around this yummy dessert!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"","GUID":"400ea6492c3b4a3bb9a949496cd8b236","MemberId":3342867,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"beautyfrumpain","SubmittedDate":"08\/19\/2008 21:51"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
