jessinthekitchen said:I will be more than happy to share the recipe- however; I totally got it off of a blog! LOL I do it a little bit different then the recipe on the blog states; I don't put them in the freezer- I just stick a toothpick in them to dip them in the melted chocolate, and then where the hole is from the toothpick make sure my decorative swirl covers it
