Cinnamon Twigs

"So simple but so tasty. These also make a great gift tied with a ribbon in a cellophane bag, from Australian Good Taste. They don't even need to look that fancy, I had some leftover pastry scraps from making pies and rather than throwing it out as I usually do, I made these, I'll never throw out pastry scraps again!"

  1. Simple and excellent! We love the taste of sweet cinnamon twigs and indeed they would be wonderful to give as gifts too. I'd just have to practice how to roll them uniformly first. DH ate almost all of it hardly leaving any for me. Thanks for posting this Mandy of Oz!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa. Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks. As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
