Really, really good! We "auditioned" it tonight to see if we wanted to serve it at my big birthday bbq -- it made the cut. Followed another's suggestions by adding onions and substituting jarred roasted red peppers.

This recipe is very similar to one I grew up with but we call them Holly Cookies -- we just don't add the extracts. Some advice for the cooks with difficulties. If the cookies are too sticky, the butter and marshmallow were not cooked long enough. I prefer to cook these on the stove (without a double boiler) for more control. The trick to getting the red hots to stick is to work with another person to place them IMMEDIATELY. At my house, Holly Cookies are a "team event". While one person spoons out the cookies (and tries not to burn fingers :-) ) the other person follows right behind with the red hots -- good kid job!

Big hit this year! My dad & step-mom did not want me to make it -- even suggested buying Stove-Top "just in case". They LOVED it. Even my sister who does not like stuffing asked for the recipe. Only one serving for leftovers and they fought over that :-)
