I made these for a gathering of friend last night. What a big hit. I doubled the recipe with no problem at all. The flavor was wonderful, not greasy at all. Loved it. -
This was pretty good. Not out-of-this-world fantastic but I would make it again. I might try substituting some cocoa powder for flour next time I make them.
