This is a great candy for kids, who tend to be big fans of white chocolate. However, if you are making these for kids, you’ll want to omit the alcohol and add 2 more tablespoons of cream or milk to the mixture in step 2.
CLOCKWATCH: The white chocolate mixture has to be chilled for 1 hour before you can roll the balls.
