  4.7 – 15 reviews  • Chocolate Candy Recipes

After marinating in a mouthwatering concoction of citrus liquids, garlic, cilantro, parsley, and basil, shrimp is grilled in a grill basket. If you don’t have a grill basket, skewer shrimp on metal or wooden skewers that have been soaked. Make sure to flip the skewers over once while they are grilling.

These were so delicious and rich! Mine never hardened though. I think I must have done something wrong. I guess I’m going to have to finish this batch I just made and start again.
Eric Fernandez
Delish!! I used 1/2 the sugar and no almonds 🙂
Erica Wilcox
I doubled the recipe and it made 41 large Pampered Chef scoop-sized cookies. I did toast whole almonds, let them cool and chopped in my food processor for medium sized chunks of almonds. Would make again.

When I was little my Aunt use to make these every holiday and I just love them – and they are so easy to make.

These are so delicious! I really wanted a cookie that was something completely different (no boring chocolate chip cookies here!) and this hit the spot. I skipped adding the sugar because I really didn’t see the point in it – and I don’t regret it. It does not need the sugar. I also substituted almond milk instead of regular, which I thought worked out great. Next time, I’ll try adding in some peanut butter!

Great recipe wouldn’t change a thing.

YUM!!!!! Everyone loves them. I used milk chocolate for the first batch and white chocolate for the second batch. I also left out the nuts on the second and added more oats and coconut. Thanks for sharing this easy yummy recipe.
