A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

This recipe sounds great and easy. But I dont like cherries. Would it still be good if I replaced cherries by any round like nut? Like hazelnut or Chestnut?

i've made these since i was a kid, they're delicious and fun to make. i use the jiffy pie crust mix though, and instead of dipping them in chocolate, i roll them in a bowl of powdered sugar while they're still warm.
