"This is a dessert I make for the Xmas holidays. They freeze well so I make them ahead of time. These are great for cookie exchanges. For gluten free, use any gluten free rice crisps cereal."

Sinful little bites that are oh so cute for holiday trays. These make up in no time and Bea's right, they freeze really well so you can make these up ahead. The key being to this recipe is to let the mix cool before handling. (as noted) Plus it seems to set up the more it cools as well.
