I've tried a lot of Needham recipes, but this one is by far the best. The Needhams are always crispy and delicious.

These Needhams are so easy to make and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and freeze them.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I used almond butter instead. They turned out just as good!

These Needhams are a great way to use up leftover cake batter. I always have a few extra cupcakes or muffins around, and this is a great way to turn them into something new.

I was disappointed with these Needhams. They were too dry and the chocolate coating was too thick.

These Needhams were a bit too sweet for me, but my kids loved them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Needhams, but I have to admit that these were pretty good. The chocolate coating was especially delicious.

The Needhams came out a little too brown for my taste, but they still tasted great. Next time I'll try cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
