Listing links in widgets

I am trying to list the links in a widget but it is not listing the way I want them to.
I found the function reference for what is now called – bookmarks but I am not sure how to enter this into a widget, I tried the simple text widget with no luck. I’d rather do this without a plugin, but I am thinking I need to add something to the functions file to get this to work.
Can someone suggest how I can do this?

Thanks
