ReplyDeletethey just went in the oven! I am so excited ;)
They were great!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this...but must go grocery shopping first.
ReplyDeleteThese sound wonderful. Can't wait to try making them!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear they came out good!
ReplyDeleteThey had the boys seal of approval ;)
ReplyDeleteThey 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.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder, none made it home from the office.
I made these last night. I really, really loved the addition of the entire orange...peel and all. I will be making these again. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGlad they came out well for you guys! Thanks for trying the recipe!
