Hi I tried this today, it tasted great! My husband and my 16 month daughter both loved it, I did not even have time freeze them! I even invite friend over tomorrow to share my joy! cheers! -
Simple and delicious. Nothing outrageous but it's pretty healthy and a LOT cheaper and better than the kind you find in the frozen food aisle. Will be doing this again! Thanks!
