These candies have a wonderful milky coconut-and-almond taste. I copy-catted the recipe so that I could make them at home. You can also store them in resealable plastic bags in the freezer.

These candies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

The Raffaello candies turned out amazing! They look just like the store-bought ones, but they taste even better. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

These candies are so easy to make and they're always a hit with my friends and family. I love that they're no-bake, so I can make them even when it's hot outside.

Absolutely delicious! The coconut and almond flavors are perfectly balanced, and the texture is just right - chewy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again soon!
