  • If you can find them, buy unwrapped Rolos to make your prep time go a little faster.

    After 3 minutes, the sticks are kind of difficult to push in. I made them a couple of ways, playing around with various temperatures. They finally look decent (not as beautiful as yours above). I know it’s not rocket science, but you’ve got the skill to get those sticks in there!! LOL.
