I just finished glazing these jewels. And oh my goodness !!! So creamy and melts in your mouth. I was shy 1/4 cup of sugar, so I added 1/4 c karo light corn syrup. Took a little while to come to a boil. So be patient. I used girardelli 100% cacao. And I always add a little espresso powder to my chocolate recipes. Truly the best no bake cookies, I dropped mine on waxed paper, I've made.
