Kahlua Cocoa Balls

It's time for a serious talk. Just between you and me. I have never made this recipe. I don't even know where I originally found it. The magazine clipping is taped to an index card, and that card is showing its age. But it sounds so good, and easy, and I think it would be a wonderful thing to make for your sweetheart. Would one of you give it a try and let me know if it's a "keeper"?
