O...M...G... These were amazing. I followed recipe,but I excluded the hazelnuts. I made these for a work function and had to make them twice becuase the first batch didn't make it out of the house :) Will definitely be making these again and again. -
This was so yummy! I used macadamia nuts instead of hazelnuts. These are very easy to make and really don't take much time.
