My 7 year old daughter made these and won Grand Champion at our county fair. They are filled with chocolatey mint flavor.
The mints totally melted when I put them on immediately. I let them cool a little while before putting them on so they could look like the picture.
I made these cookies with my 3 year old. We had a great time. So easy to make and very delicious. If making these with a young child, I would suggest the adult do the rolling of the dough while the child unwraps the chocolates.
I made these as a birthday present for my friend's son and he loved them. They were easy and looked like you spent lots of time and effort making them!

It may be the fastest two minutes in sports, but you can make the Derby last all day with a generous spread of sweets and savories with plenty of Southern charm.
