  1. These were relatively easy to make, although they did tend to break at the bend (which is why i've only said I like it). They were very tasty, especially the peppermint bits. They were a great addition to my Christmas gift cookie tin. Thanks for the recipe and the idea. Reviewed for Photo Tag 2007
