  • “I think Mystergirl hit it head on!These rock!The flavour is very simple and they were a snap to make.My only problem was waiting to let them cool down enough so I could eat one without burning myself!My husband, again, was somewhat disenchanted with the lack of ‘sweet’ that these had… but said they were ‘better than the other ones’.;)Thanks, Mirjam, guess I’ll just be makin’ these for myself!”
