  10. They certainly were delicious. Not being able to leave well enough alone, I added chopped crystalized ginger and slivered almonds to the mix, using cranberries instead of raisins. Then I sprinkled some slivered almonds on top before putting them in the oven.

    No wonder, none made it home from the office.
