2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup margarine or 1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
candy coating (of your choice, see body of recipe for choices)
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in large bowl.
2. Stir in remaining ingredients except Sugar Coating until smooth.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

5. Preheat oven to 375F degrees.
6. Shape dough into one-inch balls.
