This recipe came to me by way of the recipe adoption. i have not actually made them yet, but have tasted the ones that dreamgoddess made. they are very yummy....but i do recommend making them on a clear cool day. the humidity here in the south sometimes has an effect on this type recipe. thay may not be a problem in other areas of the world.
