I made these Ferrero Raffaello Coconut Candy Balls for my friend Shea because she is one special lady.
Shea was one of the very first few readers to leave a comment on my blog some 7 months ago. She, and a few others, broke the ice, and I will never ever forget that. ((((Hugs))))
Today Shea has invited me to do a guest post on her blog, Dixie Chik Cooks!
